As young talents like Titraoui struggle to secure consistent form and playing time at Lens, the focus is shifting back to the proven experience of national team trio Hicham Boudaoui, Nabil Bentaleb, and Ismaël Bennacer. Boudaoui, currently performing well for Nice and boasting international experience since 2019, remains a stable presence in midfield. Meanwhile, Nabil Bentaleb continues to be a cornerstone for Lille and is the most senior player in the current national squad, having debuted in 2014, making him a primary candidate for the captaincy. Finally, Ismaël Bennacer, who has rediscovered his competitive spirit and creative form since joining Al-Gharafa, is poised to reclaim his starting spot and bolster the team's tactical performance.
