Mohamed Amoura

Analysis: Amoura arrives at the World Cup in a difficult personal situation after a challenging campaign with Wolfsburg that ended in relegation through the playoff, with the Algerian winger finding himself increasingly pushed to the bench in the club's final gameweeks. The lack of consistent minutes in the closing stages of the season means he heads to North America short on rhythm and confidence at club level. However his international form paints a completely different picture. Across 12 qualifying appearances he was outstanding, contributing 10 goals and four assists to help fire Algeria to the tournament, and he retained his place as an undisputed starter through the recent AFCON despite a modest return of one assist from four games, during which he still generated seven shots and six chances created, underlining that his threat was consistent even when the end product was not. Amoura is set to start on the left wing and with his dribbling and pace could offer a big threat against teams like Argentina and Austria, where Algeria may look to exploit his ability in counter-attacking situations.

Disciplinary suspension served

Amoura has served his one-match disciplinary suspension and rejoined the squad ahead of Saturday's crucial relegation clash against St. Pauli, according to BILD.

Analysis: Amoura had been left out of the Bayern fixture after a physical altercation and verbal exchange with Kevin Paredes during training, with coach Dieter Hecking handing both players a fine alongside their squad exclusion. The coach was clear that the matter is now closed and that Amoura is too important to be left out of the decisive final-day clash against St. Pauli, with the two clubs level on points.
