Zakaria Bakkali, once hailed as a prodigy at PSV Eindhoven, now finds himself in a challenging situation. The Belgian-Moroccan winger, who impressed with his performances earlier in the season, has seen a downturn in his fortunes.
After catching the attention of the football world with his displays against Zulte-Waregem, Bakkali earned a call-up to the Belgian national team. However, his form has since declined, and he has fallen out of favor at PSV Eindhoven. Despite starting the season strongly, he now finds himself relegated to the bench and even the stands, casting doubt on his chances of making Belgium’s squad for the World Cup.
While the World Cup may come too soon for Bakkali, there is still hope for his future. His club remains committed to him and is seeking to extend his contract beyond 2015. Despite his recent struggles, Bakkali’s talent suggests that he still has the potential to fulfill his promise as one of football’s rising stars.
