  Benchikha’s statement comes in response to Qatari club Al Sadd’s reject to free its international players including Belhadj to play in friendly matches.
  

  “I need all my players including Belhadj. We are preparing for a match against Morocco. The FIFA’s laws protect players and teams in such cases,” said Benchikha.
