Out for almost a month due to a torn calf, Jaouen Hadjam recovered faster than expected. He even starts this Sunday for the match against FC Lugano.
While the medical evidence indicated that Hadjam was going to be out of competition for a little over three weeks, the absence ultimately only lasted two matches for theAlgerian who will have failed the tests against the FC Zurich and the Shakhtior Donetsk in UEFA Champions League only.
Smart decision from Petkovic
Indeed, Hadjam is in the eleven of BSC Young Boys this Sunday for the reception of FC Lugano. And that can only be good news forIN who should be able to count on his services… if he (and we do not want this) does not relapse given the complexity of muscle injuries with healing periods that can be re-evaluated. In any case, the medical staff of thenational team seemed to have the right elements.
“We preferred to include Jaouen in the list. We are awaiting more precise confirmations on his injury. Our doctors are in constant contact with the club to find out the nature of the injuries.” This was the explanation of Petkovic regarding the presence of Hadjam in the November list. The left lateral is among the Greens selected for the two matches against the Equatorial Guinea and the Liberia. The said duels will be played, respectively, on the 14th and 17th of the current month. The decision to retain the former Nantes player is judicious. It clearly shows that the Algerian Football Federation (FAF) took the bull by the horns in relations with clubs. The body and the coach assert their rights during FIFA dates. And that’s a good sign.
