Samir Chergui
27-Year-Old
Paris FC
Ligue 1
Plays in friendly
Chergui (hamstring) made his return from a lengthy injury layoff and was in the starting lineup as his team secured a 2-0 friendly victory over Red Star.
ANALYSIS
Chergui had been sidelined for 14 games after suffering a hamstring injury while representing Algeria at AFCON, with his return initially expected on March 15 against Strasbourg before he missed the call. The defender finally returned to action for the first time in a friendly against Red Star, a significant milestone in his recovery. With league action returning against Lorient on April. 5, he could be in contention for a place in the squad, though given the lengthy spell he has been away, a bench role appears the most likely scenario as he works his way back to full fitness. Adama Camara and Hamari Traore are expected to hold the role until Chergui returns to full speed.

Set to miss time
Chergui (hamstring) is set to miss a significant amount of time, coach Stephane Gilli explained in the press conference, according to Le Parisien. "In November, he had already left for international duty. He was just barely fit, but we let him go; we trusted him. Before the second match, he didn't train because he was feeling pain, but he played anyway. He came back injured, and we treated him throughout December before the Africa Cup of Nations. He rejoined his national team just barely fit. He didn't play the first match, but he played the second, during which he injured his other hamstring. I think it would have been better for him to come home, but he stayed there. He trained the day before the match against Nigeria. What started as a minor injury has now taken much longer. I'm a bit upset when players' health is taken lightly. We make them available, but I think national teams also need to respect the health of the players and their clubs. When you send a player and he comes back injured for an extended period, even though it was foreseeable, it's a problem. I'm disappointed for him because he almost missed the AFCON and will miss quite a few matches with us too."
