Ibrahim Hamdani, the head coach of the Algeria national team, has revealed a list of 26 players in preparation for the November training camp, which includes matches against the Togo national team in the third and fourth rounds of Africa Cup of Nations Qualification.
The squad list, announced by the coach during a press conference today, saw seven changes compared to the last gathering, as the 'Desert Warriors' prepare to continue their journey in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification and achieve positive results in the upcoming two matches.
Hamdani's selections include several professional players from European and Arab leagues, led by Ibrahim Mazza, alongside a group of names the coaching staff relies on to make an impact, as well as the return of some players to the national team's considerations.
In goal, the squad includes Oussama Benbout, Melvin Mastil, and Abdellatif Ramdane, while the coach has chosen Achref Abada, Zineddine Belaid, Rafiq Belghali, Ramy Bensebaini, Juan Hegam, Mohamed Azzi, Sohaib Naïr, and Ahmed Touba in defense.
In midfield, there were Himad Abdelli, Nabil Bentaleb, Hicham Boudaoui, Farès Chaïbi, Ibrahim Mazza, Abde Rebbach, and Yacine Titraoui.
In the attacking line, Hamdani has summoned Mohamed Amine Amoura, Mounsef Bakrar, Bachir Beloumi, Adil Boulbina, Amin Chiakha, Farès Ghaïmis, Amine Gouiri, and Anis Hadj Moussa.
Algeria are set to kick off their matches against Togo by hosting the first leg on November 14 at the Hussein Aït Ahmed Stadium in Tizi Ouzou, before traveling to the capital Lomé for the return leg on the 17th of the same month, in two matches where the "Greens" aim to enhance their chances of qualifying for the continental finals.
