Abde Ezzalzouli - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Trains fully Thursday Abde (knee) is training fully Thursday and is in a good position to be ready for Monday's clash against Villarreal, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Abde had already missed the Champions League opener against Lille after coach Manuel Pellegrini said his knee injury was still complicated, part of an injury riddled start to the season that has limited him to just 16 minutes off the bench across Betis' first four league matches. His full return to training now marks a significant step forward, positioning him for a potential return to action after this extended layoff.

Ruled out with illness Abde (illness) won't be an option for Friday's clash against Real Madrid, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini. "He has the flu and won't be an option."

Impact Abde had recently returned to the pitch and logged 16 minutes against Levante before this latest setback tied to a viral illness kept him out of training. Rodrigo Riquelme figures to remain the primary option on the left wing until Abde is fully back up to speed for coach Manuel Pellegrini.

Could return Saturday Abde (knee) has completed another session with the team and could be an option for Saturday's clash against Levante, according to David Rodriguez of Zona Mixta.

Impact Abde missed the recent match against Valencia after coach Manuel Pellegrini said his availability against Levante was not guaranteed either, but his continued training suggests progress toward a possible season debut. Rodrigo Riquelme figures to remain the primary option on the left wing until Abde returns to full speed.

AUGUST 28 • ROTOWIRE

Could return Tuesday Abde (knee) returned to full team training Monday and could be available for Tuesday's clash against Valencia, according to Deportes Sevilla.

Impact Abde trained normally with his teammates Monday after missing the season opener due to the knee injury that sidelined him throughout preseason. The winger is expected to be included in the squad Tuesday, though a place in the starting XI is less certain after Rodrigo Riquelme scored in an impressive display against Real Sociedad. Abde's pace and ability to take on defenders should provide another attacking option from the left flank as he works his way back to full match fitness.

Left out of squad for opener Abde (knee) will not be included in Betis's squad for Friday's season opener against Real Sociedad, according to coach Manuel Pellegrini. "Abde will not be in the squad, he's still...

Impact Abde had joined his teammates on the training pitch just days before the match and appeared to be closing in on a return, but his recovery evidently still needs more time before he's ready to be considered for selection. Rodrigo Riquelme is expected to retain his spot on the left wing in his continued absence. Abde is expected to keep working toward full fitness with hopes of being available for Betis's next fixture.

AUGUST 20 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return, likely bench role Abde is expected to be included in Betis's squad for Friday's season opener against Real Sociedad as he enters the final stage of his recovery, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Abde joined his teammates on the training pitch just three days before Betis's first home match of the new La Liga campaign, having previously taken part only in partial sessions with the group last week and sitting out the trip to Italy. The winger's return to full training strengthens the belief that he'll be available for selection this weekend. Abde is expected to start on the bench even if included in the squad, with Rodrigo Riquelme in line to take his place on the left wing. His continued progress will be worth tracking as Betis finalize their squad plans for the opener.

AUGUST 18 • ROTOWIRE

Trains fully with team Abde (knee) was spotted training normally with the team again Thursday and could be an option for Saturday's friendly against Inter, according to Zona Mixta.

Impact Abde had previously been working apart from the group for parts of sessions after suffering a right knee ligament sprain in June, an injury that also cost him a spot at the World Cup with Morocco. His return to full training now marks a significant step forward in his gradual reintegration, positioning him closer to being ready for the season opener against Real Sociedad on August 21.

AUGUST 13 • ROTOWIRE

Trains partially Tuesday Abde returned to team training for the opening portion of Tuesday's session before leaving to do specific work on the grass after 15 minutes, according to Deportes Sevilla.

Impact Abde has been following a structured recovery plan since suffering a right knee ligament sprain in June, an injury that also cost him a spot at the World Cup with Morocco, and this partial return to team work marks incremental progress. His gradual reintegration continues as Betis looks to have him ready for the season opener against Real Sociedad on August 21, with his workload expected to keep building over the coming days.

Impact Abde has been following a structured recovery plan since suffering a right knee ligament sprain in June, an injury that also cost him a spot at the World Cup with Morocco.

Impact Abde has been working toward this moment since his right knee ligament sprain in June, an injury that first cost him a World Cup with Morocco and then shaped the rest of his summer around a structured recovery plan. Monday's return to Betis's Luis del Sol facility is the formal handoff point, moving from independent rehab to club oversight, and the medical exams scheduled for that day will determine how much he can safely do in training over the following days. Arriving at this stage without disruption is a good sign for his timeline, and Betis's hope is to have him build up steadily enough to be available for the opening game of the season against Valencia.

Real Betis's medical staff agreed with the player on the decision to begin treatment in Lyon rather than Seville, also seeking to help him disconnect from his routine during the initial rehabilitation phase. Abde expressed determination to return stronger and better after a difficult week in which uncertainty surrounded his condition before his World Cup elimination was confirmed.

Morocco has replaced two injured players in its World Cup squad ahead of an opening game against Brazil

Ruled out of World Cup Abde (knee) has been ruled out of the World Cup entirely and will be replaced in Morocco's squad by Amine Sbai, according to Hanif Ben Berkane of Foot Mercato.

Impact Abde's tournament is over after the moderate knee ligament sprain he suffered during Sunday's friendly against Norway proved too serious to recover from in time for any part of the competition. Morocco will now reorganize their attacking options without one of their key wide players, with Bilal El Khannouss expected to cover on the left flank as the Atlas Lions prepare for their World Cup opener against Brazil.

Impact Abde's injury is a significant blow for Morocco heading into their World Cup opener against Brazil, with Bilal El Khannouss expected to cover on the left wing in his absence. The medical staff has informed Real Betis that they intend to keep him with the squad for now, hoping to get him back on his feet in time for a potential round of 16 appearance if Morocco advance from the group stage.

Impact Abde's injury is a devastating blow for Morocco heading into their World Cup opener against Brazil, with the winger having been a key attacking figure in coach Mohamed Ouahbi's plans. Bilal El Khannouss is expected to shift to the left wing to cover his absence, with the Atlas Lions forced to reorganize their attacking options at the worst possible time ahead of what promises to be one of the most anticipated group stage fixtures of the tournament.

Suffers injury Abde was forced off the field at halftime of Sunday's friendly against Norway due to a leg injury, according to Samuel Zemour of Foot Mercato.

Impact Adbe was taken off the field at halftime Sunday after suffering an injury on the final play of the half, receiving a blow from his teammate in the knee region that would end his day. This is a concern for the team just a few days from the start of the World Cup, as the attacker is set to be a starter for their opener against Brazil. The hope will be that he only suffered a minor injury and was removed as a precaution, as his absence would force Azzedine Ounahi into the starting XI.

Scores opening goal Ez Abde scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal), one cross (one accurate) and three chances created in Saturday's 2-1 win over Levante.

Impact Ez Abde got the party started for Real Betis and the club went on to win its La Liga finale 2-1. He'll return to Betis next season and help the team compete in the Champions League, but fans could see him make appearances for Morocco this summer at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

MAY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Takes three shots in win Abde recorded three shots (one on goal), three crosses (two accurate) and one chance created in Tuesday's 2-1 win over Elche.

Impact Abde looked active in the final third, and when the opposing defense tried to slow Antony down, the Morocco international found enough spaces to make an impact offensively. He should remain a starter in a tough matchup versus Barcelona over the weekend.

MAY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive run of form continues Ez Abde scored one goal to go with two shots (two on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and one chance created in Saturday's 2-2 draw versus Real Sociedad.

He is now up to 16 goal contributions for the campaign.

MAY 5 • ROTOWIRE

One goal, two assists Abde scored one goal and assisted twice from two shots and two chances created in Tuesday's 3-2 victory versus Girona.

Impact Abde delivered the standout performance of Tuesday's 3-2 win over Girona, first providing the assist for Marc Roca's equalizer in the first half with a sharp run and delivery from the right, before scoring in the second half after Cedric Bakambu slipped him through on the counterattack for an easy finish, and then laying off the decisive third goal for Rodrigo Riquelme in the second half with a chest trap and cutback, while adding two key passes and one tackle. The Moroccan recorded seven goals and seven assists in La Liga this season, establishing himself as one of his side's primary creative outlets.
