Goalkeeping shuffle for Algeria: Zidane left out, Belazzoug called up to Olympic squad

Ahead of the November fixtures, changes have been made to the Algerian national team's goalkeeping lineup. Manager Ibrahim Hemdani has excluded Luca Zidane from the squad for the double-header against Togo, opting instead for Abdelatif Ramdane, Melvin Mastil, and Oussama Benbot due to their consistent club form. Zidane, currently struggling for minutes and form at Leganés, remains out of favor. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Rennes goalkeeper Kylian Belazzoug will join Rafik Saïfi’s Olympic team for the upcoming matches against Eswatini, a move aimed at nurturing young talent and securing the future of the position.
