However, dealing with a recent thigh issue, Argentinian youngster Aaron Anselmino remains a doubt in midweek. Watching Algeria's AFCON adventure come to an end last weekend, former Borussia Monchengladbach defender Rams Bensebaini could play some part on Tuesday night. Coming off the bench and bagging a sensational last-gasp equaliser away at Frankfurt on Friday, ex-Chelsea star Carney Chukwuemeka could be handed a full recall."
