At a time when the names of future capes in the national team are rumored, we are concerned about the state of health of other players who are part of the group. We are thinking of the Mbolhi-Atal-Delort trio.
While Ismaïl Bennacer has just returned to competition with AC Milan after nearly two months of unavailability, we imagine that his return would relieve Djamel Belmadi, because the Milan midfielder is a precious element of the national team.
Atal, his presence is uncertain …
Among the three internationals currently injured, Youssef Atal is the case that raises the most concern as a victim of recurring muscle injuries. The fast right back of the EN is in the recovery phase. Nonetheless, when it comes to when he’ll return to competition, it’s still uncertain. Moreover, questioned at a press conference on the evolution of the injury of his young defender, the coach of OGC Nice did not wish to set a deadline about the date of his resumption. “Atal, I do not know when he will resume”, replied the Nice coach. It seems that the club, together with its medical staff, wants to give Atal all the time it takes to take good care of himself so that upon his return, his health problems would have faded for good. One month before the publication of the list of players selected by Djamel Belmadi for the last two matches of the qualifying phase of CAN-2022, respectively against Zambia and Botswana, the presence in the group of Youssef Atal is very uncertain. . Remember that Boghni’s child did not attend the last Greens gatherings. The last time he was with the group was a long time ago, exactly in November 2019 when he traveled to Botswana (0-1). Since then, Atal has missed all subsequent stages due to injuries.
Delort, serious injury?
In great shape, Andy Delort, who carried Montpellier on his shoulders as he returned from a hamstring injury, relapsed against OL. According to a colleague from France Bleu, it is more than a relapse; unlike the first time he was injured, the club immediately communicated the duration of the Algerian international’s unavailability. This time around, no time has been set for his recovery. The player, who is used to giving news via his social accounts, has not done so either. Already, he will miss the match against Stade Rennais scheduled for Sunday.
MRI confirmed 1st diagnosis
After the victory in Lyon on Saturday, the Montpellier coach gave news of his star striker. “It’s relapse. We cannot give a duration of his recovery. We will see the evolution of healing, ”testifies Michel Der Za Zakarian. But the MRI taken on Tuesday confirmed the first diagnosis, namely an injury to the thigh. Author of 9 goals and 7 assists, Andy Delort is an essential player for Montpellier. But given this stubborn injury which deprived him of a few matches last month, we fear that it deprives him of several matches this time. As if by chance, Delort was injured at the very moment when Montpellier was regaining its health; hence the question of how the team will negotiate its next outings without its main offensive asset.
He is in the typical team of the 25e day
Even if he only played half time against OL on Saturday, Andy Delort is in the typical team of the 25e day selected by the Professional Football League. Delort delivered a decisive pass from a nice outside left foot to his teammate Savanier. This is not the first time since the start of the season that he has appeared in the typical team after a day in the championship.
Mbolhi knows that Oukdija is on the prowl
It is rare to see Raïs M’Bolhi injured; As luck would have it, Al Etiffaq’s goalkeeper was injured in training with his club at the start of the new year. Hit in the knee, Mbolhi, after having followed a suitable program in Dubai, has just resumed training solo on Monday. A priori, as we know him, the global player of 2010, 2010 and 2014 will soon resume competition with his club. Moreover, he knows full well that his lining in EN, Alexander Oukidja, who is considered one of the best goalkeepers in French L1, could, in the event of a package for injury, seize his chance to the full. As Mbolhi is not the type to leave ground to his competitors, he will do everything possible to be present at the next stage of the national team scheduled for the end of March.
