In the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final, the Algerian national team may have to cope without one of their key players.
Details: According to Radio Algérienne, Algerian and Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Ismaël Bennacer is at risk of missing the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final clash against Nigeria. Reports indicate that the player is struggling with a hamstring injury, raising concerns about a potential tear.
As a result, Bennacer is likely to sit out the match to avoid aggravating the injury. The final decision on his involvement will be made by the national team's medical staff.
In this Africa Cup of Nations campaign, Bennacer has already featured in three matches, missing only the inconsequential fixture against Equatorial Guinea.
It is worth noting that the Algeria vs Nigeria match will take place on January 10 at 17:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: The Ivory Coast national team climbed to second place in terms of goals scored at the Africa Cup of Nations.
