Algerian international Adil Bourabaâ is facing a difficult path to recovery following an ankle injury sustained during the latest international break. Le Mans FC manager Patrick Videira expressed concern, confirming that the 21-year-old is consulting surgeons and could require surgery. While initial tests suggested ligament damage, there are fears that the midfielder might be sidelined until 2027. This injury stalls a promising start to the season for Bourabaâ, who had recorded three goals and two assists in five matches. His absence is a significant blow for both his club and the Algerian national team ahead of upcoming fixtures. A definitive timeline for his return is expected once further medical reports are reviewed.
