the essentials Replacing for the first time this season this Sunday against Lyon, the Moroccan international was whistled by some of the Toulouse supporters because of his current poor form. The winger then responded.
The love story between Zakaria Aboukhlal and the TFC supporters, which began with rose water, is now taking a turn for the worse. This Sunday afternoon, during the meeting between Toulouse and Lyon at the Stadium, the 24-year-old winger was not warmly welcomed by some supporters when he came into play. Something to which he did not did not fail to react.

Scorer in May 2023 during the final of the Coupe de France won by Toulouse against Nantes (5-1), the Moroccan international has been going through a very difficult phase of his career for a year now. On September 21, 2023, he suffered a serious knee injury, which deprived him of competition for almost six months, he who had three goals in five days of Ligue 1.

It was precisely against Lyon, on March 15, that he officially made his return. But without ever managing to find the net and his true level. His last achievement dates back to September 3, 2023. Holder during the first five days of the start of the 2024-2025 season, the former AZ Alkmaar remained silent and his performances were called into question, to the point that his coach makes him start on the bench this Sunday against OL.
At the hour mark, it was he who took over from Frank Magri on the front of the Toulouse attack. When his name was announced, some whistles came down from the aisles of the Stadium. So, when stepping onto the pitch, the number 7 of the TFC reacted with an undisguised smile, then applause and a thumbs up towards the corner Brice Taton, who celebrated this Sunday the disappearance of this Toulouse supporter 15 years earlier. A celebration ultimately “spoiled” by Malick Fofana’s goal to give OL victory in the final moments (1-2).
