CS Constantine has raised concerns over the availability of captain Brahim Dib for their upcoming CAF Confederation Cup match against Simba SC on Sunday.
The 31-year-old striker is battling multiple injury issues, leaving his participation uncertain for the final group-stage encounter.
In a statement released on their official Facebook page on Saturday, the Algerian club confirmed that Dib is struggling with several injuries, including a knock to his ankle and knee.
The club further noted that the El Khroub-born forward is also experiencing slight discomfort in his foot, adding to the uncertainty regarding his readiness for the match.
While CS Constantine has already secured qualification for the quarter-finals, the club is still aiming to top their group and ensure a favorable position for the knockout stages.
Missing Dib, who has contributed 3 goals and 4 assists in the competition so far, would be a significant blow for the Doyen, especially considering his leadership and experience.
As the match against Simba SC approaches, CS Constantine’s coaching staff will continue to assess Dib’s fitness, with the club hoping he can recover in time for the clash.
However, with the striker’s fitness in question, it remains to be seen whether he will be part of the squad that takes to the field in what is a crucial fixture for the group’s top spot.
