"Luca Zidane is doubtful for the World Cup after suffering a jaw and chin fracture while playing for his club Granada in Spain's second-tier football league."
"The player, in consultation with the club's medical staff, will decide in the coming hours on the course of treatment to be followed."
"Zidane is the latest player to have sustained an injury in the run-up to the World Cup, which starts on June 11."
Luca Zidane, Algeria's first-choice goalkeeper, sustained a jaw and chin fracture during a match with Granada. He collided with an opponent, resulting in a concussion and subsequent medical tests confirming the fractures. Zidane is expected to miss the remainder of the season and may require surgery, which could extend his recovery time. With other backup goalkeepers also injured, Algeria faces challenges ahead of their World Cup campaign starting June 16 against Argentina.
