The Algeria national team, the Desert Warriors, have called up striker Nacer Chadli for the upcoming November international camp. The summons comes despite the player suffering a hamstring injury during his club Pyramids' recent CAF Champions League match against the South Sudanese champion.
The Algerian Football Federation stated in an official release: "We request the player's joining starting from next November 9th at the national team center in Sidi Moussa, Algiers, and he will remain with the Desert Warriors until he returns after the international agenda ends on November 18th." Chadli is scheduled to undergo medical tests to determine the extent of the injury and a treatment plan before linking up.
This decision comes as the team looks to continue its winning run, having secured a 2-1 victory over Niger in its last outing on October 6th. Mohamed Belloumi and Ramy Bensebaini, from a penalty, were the scorers in that match. This win means Algeria remains unbeaten in its last one match, recording one win with no draws or defeats.
Focus on Togo
The immediate aim is preparation for the next qualifier against Togo, scheduled to be played at home on November 11th. The manager is considering Chadli following his three goals in three different competitions for Pyramids this season, against El Qaed in the cup, Ceramica in the league, and the South Sudanese champion on the continental stage.
The international camp represents a key opportunity to build on positive momentum ahead of the Togo clash, with Chadli set to return to his club on November 18th after the international commitments conclude. The sole focus of this camp will be preparing for the upcoming fixture against Togo at home on November 11th, the only match scheduled in this international window.
