Algiers- the Algerian defender Antar Yahia, who plays in Bochum (Germany), will be absent from competition for two weeks, according to the official website of the club which declared that he had a tear in the leg during training on Tuesday evening.

• According to the official website of Bochum, Antar Yahia will be forced to rest and care during a period of at least two weeks. He will not play against Freiburg on Saturday and will not be ready for the decisive match of the Algerian national team against Egypt on November 14 in Cairo Stadium.
  
  This injury is another trouble for the coach Saâdane who will certainly find it very difficult to fill the empty space left by Antar Yahia and his teammates Bouguerra Majid, Karim Ziani and Bezzaz who are wounded too. In addition, Mourad Meghni, player of the Italian club of Lazio, will be absent for match against the Spanish club Thursday. Meghni has not been summoned by his coach, which that he is not yet ready for competition.
  
  Djamel Abdoun: "Egypt is not Brazil ... I wish to play against France in the World Cup"
  
  Djamel Abdoun, midfielder of the National team, expressed his astonishment about the numerous comments and controversy surrounding the match against Egypt which will take place on November 14 at Cairo Stadium, accounting for the final day of combined qualifying for World Cup-CAN - 2010. Djamel, in an interview with Ennahar said that the event does not deserve all this fuss. "Egypt is not Brazil," he said. He added that he wishes to play against France in the World cup.
  
  You've played two matches in five days with your club "Nantes". Do you suffer from fatigue, as your teammates?
  
  All is well, thanks God, although we spent a difficult period (heavy defeat at Le Havre last Monday). But this is a transient period and the team will find its level, because the good relationships between the players are excellent and encouraging. Our goal is to return to first division. I get along very well with my coach who listens to us and is very close to us.
  
  The course of preparation of the National team for the match against Egypt begins November 7 in Florence, Italy. Will you be among them?
  
  Of course, inchallah, but I’ll join the group two days later because I am bound to my club which will meet Guingamp club. I look forward to joining the national team in which I found a great atmosphere.
  
  Then you rejoin the group without problems?
  
  Naturally, when Saâdane called me for the match against Rwanda, we had a long conversation. He put me at ease and told me what he expected of me. I would not disappoint. I knew he knew me very well. In addition I will be with my teammates Yebda Meghni.
  
  The suspense and stress increase gradually as the game date approaches. What about you?
  
  Why? Are we going to meet Brazil? Our goal is to qualify for the World and we have the capacity to achieve this feat. Just believe and I think everybody believes. Saadane was able to find the right words to encourage us against Rwanda. The same thing will happen against Egypt.
