Hicham Boudaoui, Algeria’s outstanding midfielder, won’t be available for their international friendly matchup with the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
In the weekend’s 1-0 loss against Angers SCO for his French team, OGC Nice, Boudaoui suffered an injury.
The game-winning goal for Angers was scored by his fellow countryman Nabil Bentaleb.
In his stead, head coach Djamel Belmadi has called up midfielder Sofiane Bendebka from Saudi Arabia.
On Saturday, Belmadi selected a 25-man roster for the friendly.
On Monday in Constantine, the Desert Foxes began getting ready for the contest.
On Tuesday (today), they are anticipated to fly to Oran to continue their preparations.
