The Algerian national football team, the Fennecs, may face a setback as striker Nabil Ghilas did not participate in the training session two days before the crucial match against Burkina Faso. Instead, Ghilas had an exchange with national coach Vahid Halilhodzic on the sidelines.
The exact nature of Ghilas’ condition was not specified by the medical staff, leading to speculation among journalists that it could be either injury or fatigue. The absence of Ghilas from the training session raises concerns about his availability for the first leg play-off match against Burkina Faso, a crucial fixture in the 2014 World Cup qualification campaign for Brazil.
The Fennecs will be eager to have all key players fit and ready for the match as they aim to secure a positive result in Ouagadougou.
