Vahid Halilhodzic, the coach of the Algerian national team, has unveiled a preliminary list of 30 players for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Among the notable inclusions is Ryad Boudebouz, the midfielder from Bastia, who makes a surprising return to the squad despite having been absent from previous selections due to a reported conflict with his club coach.
Another noteworthy selection is Nabil Bentaleb, the talented young midfielder from Tottenham Hotspur. Although he had a strong start to his international career, Bentaleb has been out of the national team picture recently.
Here are some key points about the Algerian squad:
- Ryad Boudebouz: The Bastia midfielder earns a recall to the national team, offering him a second chance to represent Algeria on the international stage.
- Nabil Bentaleb: The young Tottenham midfielder is back in contention for a spot in the Algerian squad after a period of absence.
Halilhodzic’s selections indicate his willingness to evaluate different options and consider players who have shown promise but may have been overlooked in recent times. The squad will undergo further evaluations and training before the final 23-man squad is announced for the World Cup.
