Alexandre Dujeux explains Himad Abdelli’s absence for Angers v OM

Himad Abdelli was not included for Angers’ match against OM on Saturday night.

“I spoke with Himad, I sensed a reluctance to play,” said Angers coach Alexandre Dujeux. “From my side, if I pick him and he has already agreed with the club we are facing, it is very difficult.” He was speaking to Ligue 1+.

“Put yourself in his position, it is not easy, put yourself in mine, it is not easy. In any case, he is a boy I adore and will continue to adore.”

The Algeria international has only just returned from AFCON.

Dujeux’s comments add weight to the possibility of Abdelli moving to Marseille, without stating that it is certain.
