Newcastle loaned out Moroccan left-back Achraf Lazaar to Serie A club Benevento, but the move didn’t work according to plan.
The Magpies boss Rafael Benitez has said that he feels sorry for the 26-year-old, but he is helpless to resurrect his career until the end of the season.
Lazaar’s dream of representing his country for the World Cup has been dashed as he is struggling to get games for the rock bottom Serie A side.
The Chronicle reports that Benevento coach Roberto De Zerbi does not rate the former Palermo defender which further complicates his position.
