Having just made his return, Riyad Mahrez has just left his Algerian national team.
Algeria will not be able to count on its star Riyad Mahrez on Tuesday evening (at 5 p.m.) during its second CAN qualifier match against Liberia.
The Al-Ahli player will not make the trip to Monrovia. He has contracted an injury that prevents him from taking his place in this game. A defection that Vladimir Petkovic would certainly have done well without.
Frustrating return for Mahrez
As a reminder, Mahrez was making his return during this gathering. He had not played the four previous matches of the Greens because he was “deeply thinking” about his international future.
During this return match in Oran, Mahrez delivered an average match, notably missing a penalty in the first half when the score was still 0-0. With the armband around his arm, he still came out to the cheers of the crowd.
Mahrez is not the only Fennec to have withdrawn from this second qualifying match. Also physically weakened, Mohammed Amoura and Rayan Ait-Nouri have also withdrawn.
