The second list of players for Algeria’s preparation course for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) has been announced by coach Vahid Halilhodzic. Notably, there are surprises with the exclusion of Rafik Djebbour and Madjid Bougherra. However, Rafik Halliche, who recently returned to competition, has been included.
