Midfielder Zidane Iqbal has been left out of the Iraq squad for the upcoming Jordan International Tournament because he wants to focus on matters at Manchester United.
The youngster, who made a real name for himself during the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia during July, is a notable absentee from the Iraq squad, after they recently announced their 31-man squad for the aforementioned tournament. Iqbal, despite having only made two senior caps for his country, is one of their most exciting prospects.
However, it has been confirmed that he has been left out of the squad for the Jordan International Tournament later this month as he wants to focus on his personal development at Old Trafford. The 19-year-old has been included on the Reds' Europa League B list this season, meaning an opportunity for him to play first-team football could present itself at some point this season.
