Algeria's French-born whiz kid to miss Nigeria tie in Uyo



By Rasaq Oboirien
ALGERIA could be without French-born youngster Adam Unas in next month's 2018 African World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria  in Uyo.
Unas who had his nationality switch approved by FIFA recently picked up an injury in Bordeaux barren draw against Marseille.
The attacking winger whom the French club announced three weeks ago have been invited to join the Desert Foxes camp for the game against Group B leaders, Super Eagles, left the pitch in the 74th minute after injuring his leg.
After the game, he told French sports channel, Canal + that he hopes the injury is not too serious.
Gernot Rohr's Eagles sit top of the log with 3points after it's 2-1 victory over Zambia's Chipolopolo in Ndola while Algeria and Cameroon are level on a point as they drew in Algiers on match day 1 of the qualifiers.
