Algeria: Aït-Nouri refuses to make the first move as Hemdani makes his decision

Rayan Aït-Nouri reportedly has yet to apologize to Brahim Hemdani after their clash during Algeria’s September camp ahead of the match against Zambia. La Gazette du Fennec says a private apology is a condition for his return to the national team, making him unlikely to be called up for Algeria’s two matches against Togo on November 14 and 17 in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The 25-year-old is also struggling for playing time at Manchester City, with just three appearances and 123 minutes across all competitions, and no league goals so far.
