Nigeria Embassy In Algeria Stop Algerian Player From Traveling With Squad To Uyo
Published: November 10, 2016
Na Hussein Dey midfielder Sofiane Bendebka will not travel with the Algerian squad to Uyo as things stand because he has not been issued a visa by the Embassy of Nigeria in Algiers.
Bendebka has been handed a late call-up to the Desert Foxes as a result of the uncertainty surrounding the availability of Napoli star Faouzi Ghoulam, who is struggling to overcome a groin injury.
Ghoulam was absent at the penultimate training session held at Sidi Moussa on Wednesday.
If the Algerian Football Federation fail in their attempt to get him the traveling document, he will have no choice but to return to his club.
The Algerian squad will train one more time on Thursday morning before they depart for Uyo on a chartered flight.
