The Algerian international was omitted from the squad that faced Liverpool, highlighting a challenging start to his campaign. Since joining the club, the left-back has yet to feature in a single Premier League match, sparking questions about his status in the team's rotation. Competing for a spot in a star-studded squad has proven to be a major obstacle for the former Wolverhampton player. The lack of competitive playing time is hindering his development and rhythm, creating uncertainty regarding his future at the club and his form for the Algerian national team. Aït-Nouri now faces a critical period where he must work to prove his value to the technical staff.
