Algeria national team defender Rayan Aït-Nouri is facing health concerns.
Details: According to Algerie Football Media, the Manchester City and Algeria international has contracted a severe flu and was forced to leave today's training session early.
The medical staff of the national team continues to closely monitor the player's condition and recovery process. Rayan Aït-Nouri's participation in the upcoming match against DR Congo remains uncertain, with a final decision set to be made just before kickoff.
For the "Desert Foxes" at this Africa Cup of Nations, Aït-Nouri has featured in all three matches so far, though he has yet to register a goal or assist.
It's worth noting that the Africa Cup of Nations round of 16 match between Algeria and DR Congo will take place on Tuesday, January 6, with kickoff scheduled for 17:00 Central European Time.
Reminder: The Mali national team clinched victory over Tunisia in a dramatic penalty shootout at the Africa Cup of Nations.
