MC Alger travels to Nigeria for CAF Champions League clash

MC Alger has traveled to Nigeria to finalize preparations for their upcoming CAF Champions League second preliminary round match against Enugu Rangers. The club aims to secure a favorable result in the first leg to ease their path toward the group stages.

However, the squad faces significant injury challenges. Key midfielder Mohamed Benkhemassa remains sidelined with a back injury, and Merouane Khelif is expected to miss the trip due to a thigh muscle tear. Additionally, Ben Ahmed Kohili has been ruled out of the first leg due to a foot injury, a setback attributed to physical fatigue following recent international and domestic commitments. Head coach Khaled Benyahia will have to adjust his tactical lineup to compensate for these absences.
