Football: Abderaouf Zarabi And Lamouri Djediat Dropped From Algeria Squad

The 2 players will not travel with the rest of the Algeria team to Marseille for training ahead of the crucial clash with Egypt slated for june 7th in Blida stadium. 

• Algeria  team coach Rabah Saadane has already decided that neither Nimes Olympique defender Abderaouf Zarabi and Entente Sportive de Setif midfielder Lamouri Djediat will be called up for his team’s upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Egypt and Zambia in June.

  Apparently, Saadane has determined that MC Algiers Reda Babouche will bring more to the team than Zarabi could. Meanwhile, Djediat has been dropped due to his recent dip in form which is widely being blamed on his overuse by his club coach this season.

  The national trainer released a list of 34 players from which he would select his final 24-man team which will travel to Marseille to begin training on May 25. Thus, the Algerian coach must axe an additional eight players by May 20, when he is expected to announce the call-ups.
