The Moroccan international Ibrahim Díaz continues to suffer with his team Real Madrid, after being excluded again from the starting lineup chosen by coach Xabi Alonso for the match against Valencia, this Saturday evening, as part of the Spanish league competition.

Díaz has only been sitting on the bench waiting for a chance to participate as a substitute, amid increasing debate over the limited minutes he has received this season compared to previous seasons.

The continued absence of the player from the starting lineup raises concerns among Moroccan fans, especially with the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations 2025 set to take place in Morocco, where he is expected to be one of the key pillars of the national team during the continental tournament.

The starting lineup of Real Madrid included: Courtois, Valverde, Militao, Hoysenn, Carreras, Tchouaméni, Bellingham, Arda Güler, Mastantuono, and Mbappé.

Díaz hopes to regain his place within the royal team in the upcoming matches, aiming to restore his technical rhythm and be among the key players of the "Lions" in the anticipated African event.
