CA Batna coach Atef Betira has stated that he hopes to see player Mouloud Cherik return to the squad, citing his technical skills and the team's needs for upcoming challenges, despite previous legal actions taken by the club management. Regarding the recent draw in Annaba, Betira noted that the team missed a chance for a full victory due to a lack of finishing and focus. He is now calling on his players to move past that result and prepare intensely for the upcoming Aures derby against US Chaouia.
