The Algerian international forward Bilal Brahimi is going through a tough period with his team Santos in Brazil during the current football season, as he has been continuously absent from participating in official matches.

Brahimi has missed five consecutive matches in the Brazilian league, remaining on the bench without getting the chance to appear with the first team, which raises many questions about his technical situation and future with the club.

The Algerian player had transferred to Santos during the last summer transfer window from French club Nice, amidst great hopes that he would be a strong addition to the Brazilian team, but his start has not been as expected.

Brahimi hopes to regain his place in the lineup, especially with the critical stages of the season approaching, and to prove his offensive capabilities that he had previously shown in the French league and with the Algerian national team.
