Algeria will be without winger Bachir Belloumi for their upcoming matches against Togo on November 14 and 17. His club, Hull City, confirmed on Saturday that the 24-year-old is suffering from a muscle issue.
Hull City coach Sergej Jakirović announced Belloumi's unavailability before his team's Premier League match against Arsenal. The decision was made jointly by the club and the player to prevent the injury from worsening, with Jakirović stating, "He has muscle problems, and we have decided not to include him in the group."
Belloumi will still join the Algerian national team camp for assessment by their medical staff, though he cannot play. Hull City aims to have him fit for their match against Brighton on November 22, expecting him to be sidelined for approximately three weeks.
