Algeria: An Uncertain Future for Kebbal

The future of Algerian player Ilan Kebbal with the national team is uncertain despite his recent good form and high level of play. Last Tuesday, during the friendly match between Saudi Arabia and Algeria, Ilan Kebbal once again started on the bench.

The Paris FC striker only came on in the 89th minute, bringing his total playing time to just 25 minutes in the last three international breaks. Despite his strong performances in Ligue 1, Kebbal seems to be currently out of favor with the coach.

With five goals and four assists in twelve matches, he is in impressive form. However, national team coach Vladimir Petkovic preferred to put his faith in Anis Hadj Moussa, who played a key role in the match against the Saudis.

Kebbal therefore finds himself in third position in the hierarchy of wingers, behind Riyad Mahrez and Hadj Moussa.
