Assaidi Heading To Cup Of Nations

Reds midfielder Oussama Assaidi has been named in Morocco's provisional squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.

The 24-year-old, who has made 10 appearances for Liverpool since arriving at Anfield last summer, was included among the 24-man selection by coach Rachid Taoussi.

Morocco have been drawn alongside hosts South Africa, plus Angola and Cape Verde, for the tournament - which kicks off on January 19 and concludes with the final on February 10.

Assaidi has represented his country on nine occasions, scoring once - against Algeria in June 2011.
