Zidane Iqbal (Utrecht)
November 2025

Zidane Iqbal has been dropped from Utrecht’s squad for the Europa League trip to Real Betis, with coach Ron Jans criticising his attitude after a poor training week and saying the midfielder needs a mental reset before returning to first team action. Iqbal, who left Manchester United for Utrecht in 2023 and has struggled for goals and consistency, was accused of showing little dedication and staying in disappointment too long after setbacks, leaving his coach unwilling to name any date for a possible recall.
