Algeria confirm Bennacer has sustained an injury in training – the latest

Ismael Bennacer is currently on international duty with Algerian but he won’t be taking part in the game against Liberia on Tuesday. As confirmed by the Algerian national team, he sustained an injury in training and has been left out. 

The last few weeks have been rather strange for Bennacer as he was left out of the games against Parma and Lazio due to a potential move. The latter never occurred and he’s now back in Paulo Fonseca’s rotation, but the manager might have to wait.

As confirmed by the Algerian national team, via MilanEye, Bennacer sustained an injury while in training this morning and has been left out of the squad for the Liberia game. Most likely, he will return to Milanello immediately to be assessed further.

Bennacer played 78 minutes in the 2-0 win against Equatorial Guinea earlier this week and not having him available for the next game is a blow for Algeria. Milan will be hoping that it isn’t anything serious as they have some tough games coming up, including Liverpool and Inter.

Fonseca doesn’t lack options in the tandem as things stand but many would like to see Tijjani Reijnders in the No.10 role, but the manager might be hesitant to do this without Bennacer.

  1. can we sue Algerian football federation? they keep calling him when he’s not 100% and their banana degree doctors can’t do $hit

  2. Surprise surprise 😮.
    We had people in here getting mad because Milan wanted to get rid of a player who you can’t rely on to be available.
    Biggest failure by Milan management this summer was not getting rid of him and for that missing out on Kone or even loaning out Adli.

    1. Maybe we should give a chance to Vos and try either
      4-2-3-1 with Reijnders as a CAM and a double pivot of Vos and Fofana or a 4-3-3 with Vos as a CDM and Reijnders+Loftus-Cheek as mezzalas.

  3. Yes yes, he is the player we need in our club.. again this is the reason why we should sell him and buy another Midfielder .. in last 2 season he has a 4 injures…. and in one of them he was 200 days off and now another one .. he was great but like with other players, he should be sell for around 20-25m and everybody will be OK..

  4. Please Acmilan need to step up to improve their line up Acmilan should start with Gabbia and Pavlovic why tomori is on the bench, Gabbia has helped Acmilan alot and his solid but we need Chaka Traore,Mattia liberali to support rejnder for attacking midfield while Kevin zeroli will replace Loftus cheek to support musah and Fofana for double pivot while our attack remains leao on the right, chukwueze on left with Tammy on centre
    M.maignan
    E.royal, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Hernandez
    Musah, Fofana
    Chukwueze, rejnder/liberali, leao
    T. abraham
    Substitute
    Okafor will support chukwueze
    Chaka will support leao
    Zeroli will support musah or Fofana

  5. He had all my support until now but I had enough of him…he’s chubbier and chubbier and he’s not there for the team,not even by number,cause he lacks big time in quality
