Algeria Faces Doubt as Key Player’s AFCON 2025 Participation Uncertain
The participation of Algeria’s key player in AFCON 2025 faces uncertainty as Alexis Guendouz’s injury raises concerns. The MC Alger goalkeeper sustained a calf injury during the recent Algiers derby against CRB and is now undergoing medical assessments to determine the injury’s severity.
Guendouz’s AFCON 2025 Participation in Doubt
Franco-Algerian journalist Nabil Djellit reported that there is “major uncertainty surrounding Alexis Guendouz.” His potential absence from the tournament, scheduled to take place in Morocco, would significantly impact Algeria’s squad just days before the matches begin.
Goalkeeping Contingency Plans
The technical staff is preparing for the possibility of Guendouz sitting out the tournament. This situation could lead to a shake-up in the goalkeeping hierarchy, particularly for the newly called-up Luca Zidane.
- Alexis Guendouz: Current injury status unclear, key player for Algeria.
- Luca Zidane: Recently added to the squad, potential replacement in goal.
- Impact on Team: Guendouz’s absence could hinder Algeria’s performance in AFCON 2025.
Luca Zidane, son of the legendary coach Zinedine Zidane, may find himself in a crucial position. Having joined the Fennecs only a few weeks ago, Zidane could face an unexpected but critical opportunity to prove himself on the international stage.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on Guendouz’s medical tests and the decisions made by the team’s technical staff regarding the upcoming AFCON 2025 tournament.
