Hours before the Jordan match…the Algerian national team suffers a painful blow in the World Cup sports

The Algerian national team suffered a severe blow in its participation in the 2026 World Cup, after it was confirmed that striker Mohamed Amoura would be absent from the rest of the group stage matches, following an injury he suffered in the thigh during training sessions, according to what was reported by various media sources.

Data indicate that the player’s absence is estimated at approximately two weeks, which means the end of his participation in the first round of the tournament, at a time when he was being relied upon to enhance the attacking power of the Greens.

This absence comes in a sensitive circumstance, as the Algerian national team will face both Jordan and Austria in two decisive matches, after a difficult start that witnessed a heavy loss to Argentina by 3-0, which made the task of returning to the qualification race more complicated.

Ammoura is considered one of the prominent offensive names in the national team, as he scored 8 goals this season with Wolfsburg in the German League, despite the recent decline in his scoring level, as he has not scored since mid-February, while his last international goals date back to last November.

This absence imposes an additional challenge on the technical staff, which will be required to find quick solutions to compensate for one of the most prominent offensive cards at a moment that cannot tolerate any new stumble in the World Cup journey.
