The 27-year-old is expected to miss the rest of the season and could be out for even longer if he needs surgery. capturengo.com
"The player, in consultation with the club's medical staff, will decide in the coming hours on the course of treatment to be followed," said the club in a statement late Monday.
Luca Zidane is Algeria's first-choice goalkeeper and their back-up options Anthony Mandrea and Melvin Mastil are also currently out injured.
Algeria's world cup campaign begins on June 16 against reigning champions Argentina.
مانشيني يحمل علم بلاده مدوناً بالبطولات
حرص المدرب الإيطالي روبيرتو مانشيني بعد نهاية المباراة على حمل علم بلاده وتدوين البطولات التي حققها عبر مسيرته كلاعب ومدرب، وفي مقدمتها إنجازه الأبرز بالتتويج بلقب كأس الأمم الأوروبية عام 2020. ولم يكن تتويجه مع السد وليد الصدفة، بل جاء ثمرة العمل الكبير الذي قام به مع الفريق منذ شهر نوفمبر الماضي، حيث نجح في إعادة ترتيب الصفوف ورفع مستوى الأداء وتحقيق الانسجام بين اللاعبين. وواصل مانشيني هذه العادة بإضافة لقب دوري نجوم بنك الدوحة إلى سجله مع نادي السد، في تأكيد جديد على مسيرته الحافلة بالنجاحات.

'Nobody is better than us' says Luis Enrique as PSG prepare for Bayern
Paris, France: Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique insisted Monday that no team in Europe could claim to be better than his right now as the French giants prepare for their Champions League semi-final showdown against Bayern Munich.
"These are the two best teams in Europe, even if Arsenal have also had a great season," the Spanish coach told reporters on the eve of the semi-final first leg at the Parc des Princes.
"In terms of consistency, maybe Bayern are a little bit above us. But we have shown that no team is better than us."
PSG are in the semi-finals for a third straight season since Luis Enrique became coach in 2023 and are hoping to claim back-to-back Champions League titles after winning the trophy for the first time last season.
They have reached this stage by defeating Chelsea and Liverpool in the last two rounds.
"It is a real pleasure and it is deserved. You need to be ambitious to get to this stage and I think we are. We still want to go that bit further," Luis Enrique said.
PSG and Bayern have already met three times since the start of last season: the Germans won 1-0 at home in the league phase in November 2024 and the Parisians triumphed 2-0 in a Club World Cup quarter-final last July in the United States, but Bayern won 2-1 in Paris in the league phase in November.
There have been concerns in the PSG camp about the fitness of Vitinha after the Portuguese playmaker sat out his team's last two games due to injury.
However, he was back in training on Monday in a big boost to the defending champions.
"Everyone is ready," said the coach, who also saw Spanish midfielder Fabian Ruiz make his first start in three months after injury last weekend as PSG beat Angers 3-0 in Ligue 1.
