Ezzalzouli misses Real Madrid clash amid uncertainty over his condition

Real Betis have left out international Moroccan Abde Ezzalzouli from their squad ahead of the clash against Real Madrid on Friday, for the fourth round of the LaLiga in the 2026-2027 season.

Chilean coach Manuel Pellegrini has revealed the squad list for the Andalusian team ahead of the match, which saw the absence of Moroccan winger Abde Ezzalzouli, with the club management not issuing any official clarification regarding the reasons for his exclusion from the upcoming clash.

Questions are growing regarding Abde Ezzalzouli's situation after he also missed the last training session for Real Betis. Some media reports have suggested that he may be suffering from a severe cold, although these details have not yet been officially confirmed by the Spanish club.

This absence comes at a time when the Moroccan player had started to gradually regain his competitive rhythm, having participated in the last round against Levante, following his return from an injury that kept him out of the pitch for a long time.

Abde Ezzalzouli suffered an injury before the start of the FIFA World Cup 2026, which prevented him from participating during an important phase of the season.

The reason behind Abde Ezzalzouli's absence from the match against Real Madrid remains unclear as Real Betis await clarification regarding his health status or the reasons that led the coaching staff to exclude him from the matchday squad.
