Algeria: A promising return for Ismaël Bennacer to the national team

The Dinamo Zagreb player missed two training camps with the Algerian national team. After this absence, Bennacer has returned.

The Algerian international started in the matches against Zimbabwe and Saudi Arabia, where he brought balance to the midfield.

Algerian national team coach Vladimir Petkovic expressed his satisfaction with Bennacer's commitment. Although he is not yet at his peak, his recent club performances, with 465 minutes played in six starts, suggest the expected progress ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.

Bennacer is showing signs of returning to form after his recent injuries. The midfielder, who will soon turn 28, continues to work hard to regain his best form and meet the coach's expectations before the continental competition, the 2025 AFCON.
