TyC：벤세바인, 부상으로 아르헨티나전 결장

According to TyC Sports, Algerian national team player Rami Bensebaini will miss the first World Cup match against Argentina due to a left ankle injury.

Bensebaini is one of the key players for the Algerian national team and will be absent from the J group's first round match against Argentina. The Borussia Dortmund defender had already missed the last few friendly matches against the Netherlands and Bolivia.

Bensebaini suffered a left ankle injury at the end of the season. However, Algerian coach Vladimir Petković still decided to include him in the World Cup squad, even though he cannot participate in the team's first match in this tournament.

With Bensebaini almost certain to be absent, Algeria does not have another left-footed defender who can directly replace him in their usual three-center-back system. According to the country's major sports media, La Gazette du Fennec, Aymen Abdennour, who plays for Young Boys in Switzerland, will play as the left center-back, although this is not his natural position.

Adlene Guedioura, who plays for Lille in Ligue 1, and Zinedine Ferhat, who plays for Kabylie in Algeria, are expected to form the defensive line with Abdennour under Petković against Argentina. The wing-backs are expected to be Rayan Ait Nouri from Manchester City and Ahmed Oukidja from USM Alger.

Algeria will face Argentina in their J group opener at 6:00 PM Korean time on June 16. They will then face Jordan on June 22 and Austria on June 26 in their final group stage match.
