Having barely returned to competition after a month of absence due to an ankle injury, Rafik Belghali was forced to stop again. The right side of Hellas Vérone suffers a relapse in the same place, which will keep him away from the field for a period which has not yet been specified by the Italian club.
His return only lasted a few minutes. Lined up facing Parmathe defender only played 17 minutes before sitting on the pitch and asking for a change, visibly unable to continue the match. If this new alert does not seem as serious as the one which took him away from the competition for a month, it nevertheless remains sufficient to prevent him from holding his place during his team’s next match, scheduled for Friday evening against Sassuolo.
“We will be those of Parma without Belghali, Serdar and the suspended players. »confirmed the coach Paolo Sammarco at a press conference, thus formalizing the player’s unavailability for this deadline.
Decisive weeks before the selection
This relapse comes at a delicate moment for the Algerian international. One month before the next gathering of the national team, Bengali23, finds himself facing a pivotal period. Quickly integrated since his first call-up last October, he must now fight against time to regain his optimal physical condition.
The next few weeks will therefore be decisive in hoping to return to the plans and apply for a place during the friendly matches in March, planned as part of the preparation for the World Cup.
