Djamel Abdoun’s injury to his thigh, confirmed by an MRI to be a contusion to the right biceps femoris, raises doubts about his availability for the CAN 2013 (African Cup of Nations) with Algeria. The injury is expected to sideline him for at least 3 weeks, and with the tournament approaching, the timing of his recovery becomes a significant concern.
While Abdoun expressed a desire to participate and was included in the coach’s pre-list, the final decision on his inclusion in the CAN 2013 squad will likely depend on the extent of his recovery within the coming weeks. Injuries can impact a player’s availability for major tournaments, and the team’s medical staff and coaching staff will closely monitor Abdoun’s progress to determine if he can be fit in time for the competition.
