Le Mans FC midfielder Adel Bourabâa is set to undergo ankle surgery after suffering an injury during the latest international break. The 21-year-old opted for the procedure to ensure a complete recovery and avoid potential recurring issues, ruling him out of action for approximately three months. This setback comes at a difficult time for the breakthrough star, who had recorded three goals and two assists in five Ligue 1 appearances this season and recently earned his first call-up to the Algerian senior team. Bourabâa aims to return to full fitness by the beginning of next year to continue his development with his club and remain available for future national team duties, including the U23 side managed by Rafik Saïfi for the upcoming Olympic and continental qualifiers.
