Mohamed Bachir Belloumi sidelined by injury, set to miss international duty

Hull City forward Mohamed Bachir Belloumi will be out of action for approximately three weeks due to a gluteal muscle injury. The club's manager confirmed the diagnosis, explaining his absence during the recent match against Arsenal. While the team hopes he will recover in time to face Brighton on November 22, the injury rules him out of Algeria's upcoming AFCON 2027 qualifiers against Togo. Belloumi is expected to return to Algeria for assessment by the national team's medical staff, pending an official statement from the Algerian Football Federation regarding potential replacements. Despite the injury, the player attended his club's recent match as a spectator in the stands.
