AFCON 2025: ALGERIA’S KEY MIDFIELDER DOUBTFUL AHEAD OF CLASH WITH NIGERIA’S SUPER EAGLES

Algeria’s midfielder Ismaël Bennacer is a doubt for the Desert Foxes’ quarter-final clash against Nigeria’s Super Eagles, DAILY POST reports.
Bennacer was forced off in the second half of Algeria’s Round of 16 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo on Tuesday and now faces a race against time to recover ahead of the showdown.
The 28-year-old is a key figure for Algeria, and his potential absence would be a major setback for coach Vladimir Petković’s side. Bennacer was also named Player of the Tournament at AFCON 2019.
The quarter-final clash between Algeria and Nigeria is scheduled to take place at Marrakesh Stadium on Saturday.
