Algeria goalkeeper Mohamed Zemmamouche has been ruled out of the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
The USM Algiers keeper failed to recover from a shin injury he picked up during the team’s pre-tournament camping.
He has been replaced by CS Constantine keeper Cédric Si Mohamed after CAF agreed to the late substitution by Les Fennecs coach Christian Gourcuff.
Algeria begin their Nations Cup campaign against South Africa on 19 January.
