Thursday, Vladimir Petkovic revealed the list of Algerian players summoned for the November gathering. Luca Zidane is one of them.
After having honored his first selection with the Fennecs against Uganda (2-1 victory for Algeria), on October 14, Zinédine’s second son should therefore play against Zimbabwe (November 13) and Hervé Renard’s Saudi Arabia (November 18).
Embarrassing news for his Granada club, which will not be able to count on him on November 15. Indeed, that day, the team coached by Pacheta will face Racing Santander, who is none other than the leader of the Spanish Second Division. It is Ander Astralaga, on loan this season from FC Barcelona, who should take his place in the Andalusian goal.
Luca Zidane, Granada did not anticipate the call from the Fennecs
Knowing that Algeria must compete in the second edition of the Arab Nations Cup (from December 1 to 18 in Qatar), then the African Nations Cup in Morocco, Luca Zidane could miss his club for many weeks. Fighting to maintain their position, the Rouge et Blanc may have to recruit a new goalkeeper in the coming weeks.
Last September, the Players’ Status Chamber of the FIFA Football Court rendered a favorable decision regarding the request for a change of sporting nationality of the cadet of the 1998 Ballon d’Or. Born in Marseille, the 27-year-old goalkeeper had played under the rooster tunic in all the youth selections.
