Himad Abdelli limps off injured for Algeria against Burundi | OneFootball

Marseille midfielder Himad Abdelli limped off injured while playing for Algeria against Burundi in Africa Cup of Nations qualifying on Tuesday.

According to L'Équipe, he went off just before half-time, limping heavily, and was helped from the pitch by two members of Algeria’s medical staff. Burundi led 2-1 at the break.

Abdelli had taken a knock to his left ankle. It appeared to follow a robust challenge and an awkward fall.

It follows a separate concern for OM, with Amine Gouiri having returned to Marseille after a left quadriceps issue during Algeria’s game against Zambia on Friday night, which finished 3-1.

This was the second physical setback involving an OM player with Algeria in recent days.
