Mohamed Bachir Belloumi sidelined by injury

Algerian international Mohamed Bachir Belloumi is set to miss three weeks of competition due to a gluteal muscle injury. Hull City manager Serghei Iakirovic confirmed the diagnosis, noting that the player will be sidelined for both the club's upcoming fixtures and the Algerian national team's matches against Togo on November 14 and 17 for the 2027 AFCON qualifiers. Belloumi, who was ruled out of Saturday's match against Arsenal, was seen watching the game from the stands, a moment he shared via social media. The coaching staff hopes for a recovery in time for the game against Brighton on November 22.
