Ennahar TV: Bennacer undergoes MRI after feeling muscle pain – the latest

Ismael Bennacer will undergo a check-up today after feeling discomfort in his muscle during Algeria’s training session yesterday, according to a report.

According to what is being reported by Ennahar TV (via MilanNews) Bennacer underwent an examination after he felt pain felt in his adductor during training yesterday.

He went to Bouaké hospital for medical checks in view of today’s game against Burkina Faso and his condition will be assessed this morning. His participation in the match is now obviously at risk.

Clearly all the Rossoneri fans are monitoring the situation with attention and apprehension, considering that Bennacer had just returned from a very long spell on the sidelines following surgery on his knee.

The good news is that the MRI scan ruled out any adductor muscle strain or tear which means that the issue seems minimal and thus there is no need for any alarm.

However, it may be that Algeria choose to take a cautious route and not start the former Empoli man today. That being said, they drew their opening game in the competition 1-1 against Angola so they really need to get a win on the board.
