The defender recently resumed collective training with the Parisian club and is following a progressive rehabilitation protocol. If his condition continues to improve, he is expected to be able to compete next week. Internally, however, Paris FC did not hide their dissatisfaction.
According to the club, the player initially suffered only minor discomfort. However, upon his return from international duty, he was diagnosed with a hamstring injury that required a more cautious approach and a longer period of recuperation. The management of Paris Football Club believes that extra precautionary measures should be taken during the international break.
The club did not make any direct accusations, instead pointing to a lack of vigilance on the part of the Algerian Football Federation (FAF). The complaint has reignited a recurring debate in modern football: the management of international players between club and national team. Compact schedules and high-performance demands often exacerbate this tension, with both sides eager to protect their sporting interests.
As for Algeria, there has been no official communication on this matter yet. However, this happens at a crucial moment for Paris FC this season, as they enter the decisive stage of the league. Technicians now hope to get Chergui back to 100% as soon as possible while avoiding the risk of recurrence.
