FRENCH Ligue One side, Bordeaux have informed that they have received a letter from the Algerian FA inviting French-born youngster,  Unas Adam for the Desert Foxes build-up to next month's Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Nigeria in Uyo, reports NaijaSportsXtra.blogspot.com.
Unas Adam, 19-year-old who once played for France U-20 male team, last week had his nationality application switch to Algeria, approved by Federation of International Football Association (FIFA).
FAF this week sent a letters to various European and Algerian clubs inviting players to the Desert Foxes camp to prepare for the tie in Uyo.
Bordeaux in a tweet posted on its twitter handle on Tuesday read: "@ A_Ounas22 is called for the first time by @LesVerts for the match against Nigeria on November 12."
Unas who will clock 20-years on the eve of the top of Group B table game in Uyo has scored five goals in 29 games since making his professional debut with the French Lique Une club last season.
Recall the Desert Foxes are still without a coach after Milovan Rejavac resigned from his post on the claims of intense pressure after he lost the locker room following some players protest after the game against the Indomitable Lions.
Nigeria top the group with 3points after beating Zambia in Ndola, while Algeria and Cameroon are placed second and third with a point each after they shared the spoils in Algiers on match day 1.
