Abdelli breaks his silence after non-selection

After a standout season with Angers SCO, the Algerian attacking midfielder responded via a post on his official account on the “X” platform, where he reaffirmed his unwavering commitment to the national team, stating that it remains above any personal consideration or technical decision.

The 26-year-old wrote in particular:

On the pitch, Abdelli has featured in 13 Ligue 1 matches since the start of the current season, netting two goals.

Meanwhile, according to several French outlets, notably the specialist site Foot Mercato, Sevilla FC is closely monitoring the Algerian midfielder, while talks over a contract extension with Angers—set to expire at the end of the season—are reportedly at a standstill.
