Nabil Bentaleb ruled out of Algeria squad for CAN 2027 qualifiers

Nabil Bentaleb will miss Algeria’s upcoming CAN 2027 qualifying fixtures after confirming he is unavailable for the national team’s training camp.

The midfielder’s absence is a significant blow to Algeria, who will be without one of their most experienced and important players in midfield for the decisive matches.

Adil Bouraaba has been called up by the technical staff to replace Bentaleb at short notice. The young player will join the Fennecs squad and will look to provide tactical flexibility to the national team.
