Algeria: Two Months Before the U17 World Cup, Is Yacine Abed Punished?

Yacine Abed is not among the 24 players selected by Amine Ghimouz for the preparatory tournament in Croatia ahead of the U17 World Cup. His absence is surprising as he was a key player during the U17 AFCON. He has been called up by Karim Ziani to play with the U17 B team, but his recent trip to Qatar raises questions about his status within the team. No FAF official has confirmed that his absence is a punishment.
