Algeria squad list: Petkovic keeps an eye on JS Kabylie

JS Kabylie goalkeeper Gaya Merbah could find his name on Algeria’s extended squad list for the March training camp. According to reports circulating in Algeria, notably relayed by journalist Kadi Nazim, the Kabyle shot-stopper is under close observation by head coach Vladimir Petkovic.

Since reclaiming his spot as JS Kabylie’s starting goalkeeper, Merbah has delivered consistently impressive performances. His reliability and composure between the posts appear to have caught the attention of the technical staff, who are actively preparing for the upcoming international break.

During the next FIFA window, the Algeria national team will set up camp in Italy. Two friendly matches are on the agenda: an opener against Guatemala, followed by a more challenging test against Marcelo Bielsa’s Uruguay, a side renowned for its intensity and modern brand of football.
