Moroccan Midfielder Taarabt Skips Training Amid Rift with UAE Club Al-Nasr

Is Adel Taarabt about to leave Al-Nasr? He no longer shows up for training, reports the local press. At the origin of this prolonged absence, a rift between the coach of the Emirati club Alfred Schreuder and him. The former Benfica player would have been annoyed by the fact that he has recently been relegated to the substitutes’ bench. But the Dutch technician denies any disagreement with the Moroccan international.

Only the absence of Adel from the confrontation between Al Ain and Al Nasr last Monday is justified. Officially, he was absent from the match for "personal reasons". According to some sources close to Al-Nasr, the management of the club intends to file the player’s file before the Dispute Commission in the United Arab Emirates.

Adel Taarabt joined Al-Nasr in 2022. Previously, he played for several European clubs, including Benfica Lisbon, Tottenham, Lens, AC Milan and Queens Park Rangers.
