Luca Zidane's struggles deepen as Leganés battle relegation threat

Luca Zidane endures a turbulent spell with Leganés, having missed the latest Algerian national team gathering through suspension and failing to find calm at club. The side entered the Almería trip still reeling from a 4‑0 loss at Cádiz, where the keeper conceded all four goals.

Almería defeat adds to woes

Zidane started in goal for Leganés on the pitch of Almería, where the visitors suffered a 3‑0 reverse. He was not directly culpable for the first two goals, which stemmed from defensive lapses beyond his control.

The third strike proved more embarrassing: a low shot aimed at him saw Zidane dive, make contact, yet the ball slipped past and into the net. The incident epitomises the poor run the former Granada keeper is currently enduring.

The latest loss leaves Leganés with four defeats and a single victory in their previous five outings. Such a run has plunged the club into a precarious position.

They now sit in 15th place, a mere four points clear of Cádiz, who occupy the first relegation slot. The narrow margin underscores the urgency of turning fortunes around.

The suspension that kept him away from the Algerian squad also denied him a chance to regain composure at Leganés. Consequently, his confidence appears to have eroded further.
