#2 Best squad since the golden generation of Rabah Madjer and Lakhdar Belloumi
Even with Sofiane Feghouli and Carl Medjani – both regulars for the national team – being omitted from the final squad for this tournament, Algeria do not lack star power as Yacine Brahimi, Nabil Bentaleb and Faouzi Ghoulam line-up alongside the aforementioned Mahrez, Slimani and Soudani.
In fact, expectations of this squad are so high that the failure to win either of their first two FIFA WC 2018 qualifiers has resulted in outrage among fans.
With a side burgeoning with quality, it’ll be up to Leekens to get the balance right & justify his decision to omit the established stars.
