It seems there was a moment of concern during the Algeria-South Africa friendly match in preparation for CAN 2013, as a collision with a South African defender led to an injury for the Marseille player. In response, the coach, Vahid Halilhodzic, decided to replace the player to ensure his preservation.
Fortunately, the injury appears to be minor, as indicated by the player himself. The Marseille player mentioned that he needs to undergo treatment, but he reassured that there is nothing to worry about. These comments suggest that the injury is not severe, and the player is optimistic about his recovery.
Algeria is gearing up for its first match in Group D against Tunisia on January 22 in the Africa Cup of Nations (CAN) 2013. Despite the brief scare, it seems the player is expected to recover and potentially be available for upcoming matches in the tournament.
