Algeria call up Adil Bouraaba after Nabil Bentaleb withdrawal

Nabil Bentaleb will miss Algeria’s squad for the CAN 2027 qualifying campaign after confirming he is unavailable for the national team’s upcoming gathering.

The midfielder’s absence is a significant blow to the Fennecs, with Algeria losing a key and experienced presence in the centre of the pitch for these important fixtures.

Algeria’s technical staff have responded to the late withdrawal by calling up Adil Bouraaba.

The young player has joined the national squad after receiving his first call-up for this gathering, and will look to offer tactical freshness to the team’s midfield options.
