A significant setback for Mouloudia Alger ahead of their highly anticipated clash with rivals USM Alger, postponed from matchday 16 of the league championship.
The club has confirmed that starting goalkeeper Alexis Kendouz will miss the crucial encounter, presenting new challenges for the team as they aim for a positive result.
Kendouz’s exclusion stems from a direct recommendation from the team’s medical staff. Following continued discomfort, a thorough evaluation determined he wasn’t physically ready to participate, and the decision was made to rest him fully to avoid potentially prolonging his absence.
With Kendouz sidelined, the technical staff has been working diligently to prepare available replacements to secure the goal. This match is a pivotal moment in the Algerian league season, with both teams vying for crucial points.
All eyes are now on the goalkeepers in contention, who face the significant responsibility of filling Kendouz’s shoes and providing confidence to the defense in this difficult match.
Details of Alexis Kendouz’s Injury
Medical reports indicate that Alexis Kendouz’s ongoing pain is due to a calf muscle strain (gastrocnemius).
This type of muscular injury requires a period of rest and a specialized rehabilitation program to ensure the player recovers fully and regains muscle elasticity before returning to team training and official matches.
Who Will Guard the Net for Mouloudia Alger Against USM Alger?
To address the goalkeeping shortage, the technical staff has finalized the lineup for the match. Abdellatif Ramdane will lead the starting eleven and protect the team’s goal from the opening minute.
Matias Hamache will be available on the bench as the second option and a ready replacement should any issues arise during the match.
