OGC Nice faces further bad news with the withdrawal of Hicham Boudaoui for the McDonald's Ligue 1 match against Brest this Saturday.
The Algerian player who had a good start to the seasonwas forced to withdraw due to a hamstring injury. This situation is all the more worrying as it comes as the Algerian national team's training session approaches, scheduled in two weeks, where Boudaoui is expected to be a key player in midfield.
Despite impressive performances this season — with seven matches played, one goal and one assist to his credit — Boudaoui seems prey to recurring physical problems. In September, he had already been sidelined for almost a month due to a knee injury, which slowed down his progress and consistency.
The absence of Fennec could have repercussions on the game of OGC Nice, which needs his creativity and his playing intelligence in midfield. His ability to read the game and get involved in offensive actions makes him an indispensable asset for his club. Furthermore, a potential package for the Algerian national team training course would be truly problematic, because his energy and experience are valuable for the selection, especially with important deadlines approaching.
A rapid recovery is therefore hoped for Boudaoui.
His undeniable potential and talent are essential, both for Nice and for the Fennecs. The next steps in his rehabilitation will be decisive for his future and his ability to contribute to the success of his team.
As a reminder, although he missed the September training course due to injury, Boudaoui shone when he came on against Togo in the first match of October in Annaba.
His contribution made the Algerian block more compact and fluid, thus contributing to four goals scored. the native of Béchar, who is used to raising the pace and bringing verticality to the game with his precise passes, represents an essential asset for the national team.
