Belghali, knee trouble again: he cannot train
The Torino full-back still has persistent pain in his right knee and undergoes tests in Turin today after returning from Algeria duty.
Rafik Belghali is causing Torino more concern. The full-back, who was on Algeria duty, has returned to Turin and undergoes medical tests today after reporting that persistent knee pain stops him from training. According to Tuttosport, the pain is still in his right knee and doctors must assess any swelling or inflammation.
The Algerian Football Federation confirmed the same reason in an official statement, so he will miss the two AFCON qualifiers against Togo. The 24-year-old has 17 caps and 2 goals for Algeria, and he is in the hands of Torino's medical head, Dr Paolo Gola.
