Queens Park Rangers midfielder Adel Taarabt has revealed that he will choose to play for Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations if he is called upon.
QPR manager Harry Redknapp originally asked the 23-year-old to opt out of next month's tournament and help steer the R's out of the relegation zone.
"[Redknapp] came to see me to ask me not to go but I told him, 'If they call me, I can't refuse, boss'," Taarabt told L'Equipe.
"I love my country, I love the Moroccan people and football means a lot to them. I warned him that the only solution was that the coach doesn't call me up."
QPR currently sit second-from-bottom in the Premier League table.
