Moroccan midfielder Azzedine Ounahi named in Marca’s La Liga team of the week

Azzedine Ounahi has been named in the La Liga Team of the Week by Marca following his standout display for Girona FC.

The 25-year-old midfielder, who recently returned from injury, was included in the publication’s ideal eleven for Matchday 25 after an influential performance in Girona’s 2-2 draw against Deportivo Alavés.

Ounahi had been sidelined after sustaining an injury while representing the Morocco national football team, ruling him out of the Africa Cup of Nations.

His return has been marked by renewed sharpness and composure in midfield, qualities that were evident in his latest outing.

Against Alavés, Ounahi played a decisive role, contributing directly to the team’s overall performance with key actions in advanced areas.

His ability to operate between the lines and link play drew praise from Girona’s head coach in the post-match press conference.

Michel said: “Ounahi gave us that quality between the lines. We need more from him because he has a lot of talent, and those were good minutes after a two-month absence.”

The recognition from Marca underlines the impact of his comeback. After a two-month spell out of action, the Moroccan international appears to have quickly regained rhythm and influence within the squad.

With his latest contribution, Ounahi now has five offensive involvements in 11 appearances for Girona this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists.

Those numbers reflect his growing importance to the side as they navigate a demanding league campaign.

His inclusion in the Team of the Week serves as further acknowledgement of a successful return, highlighting both his individual quality and his significance to Girona’s midfield structure.
