Real Madrid urges Mourinho to increase Diomande’s playing time

Real Madrid has requested coach Jose Mourinho to grant more playing time to summer signing Yan Diomande. The 19-year-old has only accumulated 292 minutes this season, starting two matches. His recent performances, particularly against Atletico Madrid and Elche, have shown his potential, prompting the club's desire for more involvement. Mourinho has been managing Diomande's integration cautiously, favoring gradual development while balancing the challenges posed by Vinicius's inconsistent form. Diomande's impactful display, including significant duels won and a high pass completion rate, has led to increased calls for his use in upcoming matches.
