Algeria’s goalkeeping crisis deepened after Luca Zidane suffered a head injury during Granada’s match against Almeria.

The goalkeeper was hurt while attempting to clear a cross, leaving him with dizziness and minor bleeding before being forced off in the closing minutes to applause from fans.

The game was briefly halted as he received medical attention, with Ander Astralaga coming on as his replacement.

This comes after Anthony Mandrea was ruled out of the 2026 World Cup due to a shoulder dislocation, while Melvin Mastil recently underwent surgery, raising concerns for Algeria’s coaching staff.
