2021 Africa Cup of Nations: Algeria hit with three Covid-19 cases ahead of tournament
Algeria have recorded positive tests of Coronavirus ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon].
Youcef Belaili, Mohamed Amine Tougai and Houcine Benayada on Thursday tested positive.
“They’re in good health and have no symptoms,” coach Djamel Belmadi told a press conference in Doha where Algeria are holding a training camp before flying to Cameroon for the tournament starting on 9 January.
Forward Belaili could return to training in the next two days, Belmadi said, but defensive duo Tougai and Benayada are currently in Algeria and will join the national squad in the coming days.
Holders Algeria play Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea and the Ivory Coast in the group stage of the biennial tournament which has been pushed back twice, first because of fears that torrential seasonal rains could affect the tight schedule, and then because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 33rd edition of the Afcon tournament is scheduled to kick off from January 9 to February 6 in Cameroon.
