Great uncertainty regarding Benbouali

Sep 17, 2026

As the national team prepares for a new gathering, uncertainty looms over one of the forwards recently called up by the head coach. The condition of Nadhir Benbouali will need to be closely monitored in the coming hours.

The Pyramids FC forward is currently going through a tough phase due to a muscle injury in his thigh, specifically in the adductor. This issue has already forced him to miss his club's last match and is expected to keep him sidelined for the upcoming game against Enppi, scheduled for Thursday, as part of the fifth round of the Egyptian league.

This absence comes at a time when Benbouali was supposed to prepare to join the Algerian national team for the upcoming international camp. His participation in the late September gathering is now uncertain, as the national team's staff is expected to have more information regarding his health status soon.

According to reports from Winwin, citing a source close to the situation, Benbouali is expected in Algeria in the coming hours. The player will undergo medical examinations under the supervision of the national team's medical staff to accurately determine the nature of his injury and, most importantly, its severity.

These examinations will be crucial moving forward. They will allow the medical staff and the coach to know whether the forward will be able to participate normally in the upcoming camp or if he will ultimately have to withdraw.

However, the initial signs do not seem particularly reassuring, as the injury continues to prevent him from playing with Pyramids. Nevertheless, it will be necessary to wait for the examination results and the complete assessment from the national team's medical staff before knowing the final decision regarding Benbouali.
