OGC Nice midfielder Hicham Boudaoui is injured and will miss Algeria’s two matches against Togo, the Algerian Football Federation confirmed. An MRI scan led the staff to release him from the squad. The coach called up Adem Zorgane, a Charleroi midfielder, to replace him.
Boudaoui is returning to France to receive treatment with his club. It is the fourth withdrawal ahead of these two matches. MC Alger goalkeeper Abdellatif Ramdane had been excused from the camp after the death of his father. Hull City winger Mohamed-Bachir Belloumi and full-back Jaouen Hadjam are absent for medical reasons; the FAF has called up Fahem Benaissa for the first time for the national team.
Belloumi’s coach had mentioned a muscle problem and a break of about three weeks. In September, Nabil Bentaleb’s injury had already forced the coach into a last-minute replacement.
