Who is the best replacement for Riyad Mahrez in the Algeria national team?
Algerian football experts agree that Anis Ben Slimane, a star of Vitesse Arnhem, is the first choice for the right-wing position after Riyad Mahrez's international retirement.
Zeher Lahhal, a journalist at Al-Hadaf, said: "Personally, I think the opportunity has become suitable for Ben Slimane to prove himself on the international stage, and to confirm the great abilities he has shown, especially during the last season".

In the same context, Zeher Lahhal nominated the talent Ibrahima Mazou for a role in the right-wing position, in the event of Ben Slimane's failure to prove himself with the Algeria national team.

Mehdi Zekri added: "Tactically, I think Belhadj is one of the players of his generation in this position, and he can become a key player with the Desert Warriors, provided he overcomes the curse of injuries that has plagued him in recent years".
