It was one of the main surprises of Djamel Belmadi’s list for the double confrontation against Niger. Andy Delort was not among the selected players by the coach of Algeria in view of these two qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup. Several more or less convincing reasons had since been advanced, evoking among other things Instagram posts of the player that would not have been appreciated by his coach. But the truth is certainly to be sought elsewhere than on social networks. The site Algeria Today publishes this Tuesday the results of theinvestigation of this shelving of the striker, transferred this summer from Montpellier to OGC Nice.
A Delort-Galtier agreement on Algeria’s back?
And it is precisely on the side of this signature in favor of the Aiglons that the media has found a convincing explanation. According to a source quoted by the media, Djamel Belmadi has learned that Andy Delort has agreed to give up the CAN when engaging with the Aiglons. “Christophe Galtier could not afford to sign a player of African sports nationality one year at CAN. He has already four players, and not the least, who will have to leave the club for at least a month to go to the next CAN, namely Atal, Boudaoui, Kamara and Lemina ”, indicates this anonymous interlocutor, quoted by our colleagues. The Delort file should be on the menu of the press conference that Djamel Belmadi will hold on Thursday, the day before the first leg against Niger.
