Algeria: Bennacer responds to being left out of the Greens' squad

Algeria: Bennacer sets the record straight after being left out!

The squad list unveiled by Vladimir Petkovic for the October training camp has, as usual, sparked a flurry of reactions. The coach decided to do without some regulars, such as Saïd Benrahma and Ramiz Zerrouki, while opening the door to fresh faces. But the most talked-about omission remains that of Ismaël Bennacer. Having returned to his club late after joining Dynamo Zagreb in mid-September, the midfielder was deemed not yet physically ready for this call-up.

Bennacer cools the controversy

The Algerian international nevertheless made headlines on social media. Just minutes after the squad announcement, he posted a story with a curious emoji, fueling speculation about his absence from the call-up.

Bennacer was quick to put an end to the debate, posting a second, much clearer message: a photo of the Greens accompanied by an unambiguous caption: "Always behind @LesVerts, no matter what 💚🇩🇿." A clear statement that puts the controversy to rest and confirms the player's commitment to the group, even when not selected.
