Algeria's national team conducted their final training session on Monday at the Centre technique national (CTN) in Sidi Moussa, ahead of their friendly match against Niger on Tuesday. The session, which started at 17h00, focused on tactical work, including the team's game strategy and final adjustments. The training was attended by 21 players, as Saâdi Radouani was ruled out due to adductor pain and has been declared unfit for the match.
Radouani, a player from USM Alger, left the team's camp on Monday morning and will not participate in the friendly match. His absence adds to the challenges faced by the team's coach, who is expected to make some changes to the lineup for this match. The coach is likely to give opportunities to players who have not featured in the team's previous two matches, including goalkeepers, defenders, and forwards.
The team's goalkeeping position is expected to see a change, with Ramdane from Mouloudia d'Alger likely to start ahead of Mastil. In defense, three players are competing for one or two spots in the starting lineup, namely Belaid, Naïr, and Touba. The midfield is also expected to see some changes, with young Adil Bourabaa potentially making his debut alongside Adil Aouchiche.
The attacking lineup is also expected to see some changes, with Ilan Kebbal potentially making his first start. The coach may also choose to rest some of the key players, including Chiakha, Bakrar, and Amoura, with Boulbina possibly taking the left wing position. The team's strategy and lineup will be crucial in determining the outcome of the friendly match.
The friendly match against Niger will be refereed by an Egyptian trio, led by Mahmoud Ahmed Mohamed Bassiouny, with Youssef Wahid Youssef Elbosaty and Ahmed Tawfik Teleb Ali as assistants. The fourth referee will be Algerian Mustapha Ghorbal. The match is scheduled to kick off at 18h00 on Tuesday at the Stade Hocine Aït Ahmed in Tizi-Ouzou.
The Algerian team arrived in Tizi-Ouzou on Monday evening, after completing their final training session in Sidi Moussa. The team is expected to put up a strong performance in the friendly match, which will provide an opportunity for the coach to assess the team's strategy and player combinations ahead of future matches.
The friendly match against Niger is an important opportunity for Algeria to fine-tune their strategy and give playing time to players who have not featured prominently in recent matches.
