Algeria: Luca Zidane left out by Hemdani for both matches against Togo

Algeria coach Brahim Hemdani announced his squad on November 5 for the third and fourth rounds of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, leaving out Luca Zidane. The Leganés goalkeeper, who plays in Spain’s second division, had served a two-match suspension stemming from incidents in the 2024 AFCON quarter-final against Nigeria but has had a difficult start to the season. Hemdani selected Oussama Benbot, Melvin Mastil and Abdelatif Ramdane, saying he wanted three goalkeepers with as much playing time as possible.
