Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde is frustrated over his minutes this season.
Marca says Valverde hasn't been playing as much as he'd like recently at Real Madrid.
The Uruguayan midfielder needs to be playing if he wants to take his game to the next level, and in recent weeks has quite often had to settle for a place on the bench under Carlo Ancelotti.
In all competitions so far this season, Valverde has started 15 of the 28 matches he's been involved in. This isn't an improvement on last season, where he started in 12 of his 20 appearances and is a drop from the 2019/20 season under Zinedine Zidane where he started 20 from 28.
Valverde and the club are both on the same page, however, when it comes to his future. He has a contract at theEstadio Santiago Bernabeuwhich runs until 2027, the longest at the club, and both parties believe that there will be plenty of opportunities for him in the coming years.
