Rosenborg striker Amin Chiakha has left the Fennecs’ camp on the eve of the match against Togo because of a minor injury. His club hopes to have him back for the game against Aalesund.
Algeria’s gathering for the two matches against Togo, on 14 and 17 November, has been disrupted before kick-off. Amin Chiakha, the Rosenborg striker, has left the national team’s training camp, Freyr Alexandersson, the Norwegian club’s coach, confirmed, according to information from Bold.dk.
The 20-year-old striker is suffering from a minor injury, according to Rosenborg’s official website, cited by the Danish outlet. He had been called up for both meetings with Togo, the first of which is scheduled for Saturday 14 November in Tizi Ouzou.
A withdrawal still to be confirmed
The exact nature of the injury has not been detailed, and no recovery timeframe has been given. Nothing therefore allows us to say, at this stage, whether he will miss either of the two matches against Togo, or the entire international window.
The information rests on a single source, Bold.dk, which relies on Rosenborg’s official website and on the comments of the Norwegian club’s coach.
Rosenborg hope to get their striker back
On the Norwegian side, they are optimistic: “We still expect Amin to be ready for the match against Aalesund,” Freyr Alexandersson told Bold.dk. The club therefore hopes to have its striker back for that fixture.
This season, Chiakha has scored 19 goals in 28 matches in all competitions for Rosenborg. Loaned out by Copenhagen at the start of 2026, he was bought permanently by the Norwegian club in August, which makes him a key player in the sporting project, at least in attacking terms.
An international future still to be written
With Algeria, he has six caps and has not yet scored his first international goal. This window offered a fresh chance to shine in the Fennecs shirt, against an opponent the Algerians face twice in a few days.
The first match is set for Saturday 14 November in Tizi Ouzou, the second for 17 November.
