At the end of the month, Algeria will face Guinea (September 23) then Nigeria (September 27) in a friendly match in Oran. These two meetings might allow several dual nationals to be called up for the first time in selection. This will not be the case for Yacine Adli. Even though he has agreed to join the Fennecsthe new AC Milan midfielder has asked not to be called up as early as this month, reveals The Fennec Gazette.
According to the same source, on the other hand, there are chances of seeing Houssem Aouar present this month with the Fennecs and the midfielder would even appear in the extended list of coach Djamel Belmadi! The fact that the French international remained at Olympique Lyonnais at the end of the transfer window, however, complicates things since the Gones would try to slow down his change of sporting nationality… Nevertheless, the ball is in the court of the player who will obviously have the last word.
While their names have circulated in recent months, left-backs Rayan Aït-Nouri (Wolverhampton) and Yasser Larouci (Troyes), however, are not mentioned by the media. The suspense over the possible presence of new dual nationals will end no later than Sunday September 18 at 11 a.m. (local time) during the press conference hosted by Belmadi.
