Uncertainty grows over Nabil Bentaleb’s availability for Togo matches

Algerian midfielder Nabil Bentaleb faces potential absence from the upcoming back-to-back games against Togo, scheduled for November 14 and 17 as part of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. His coach at Lille, Davide Ancelotti, announced that Bentaleb will miss the Champions League match against Bodø/Glimt due to illness, with the club hoping for his recovery ahead of Sunday's league fixture. Bentaleb had previously missed the national team's September camp due to an injury.
