E PAPRECEDENS: Luhet France-Alger, two nationals call the same footballer

At the moment, it is certain that Yannis Lagha will play at the next two friendly matches planned between France U-18 and the Algerian counterpart (9 October and 12 October).

The problem is, you don't know which fan Lyon's 18-year-old fan will be on the field.

Just over a week before the first clash between the two nationals, the newly born OL midfielder, found himself in an absurd situation after he was called by both trainers.

He's already played for Algeria U-17, but recently he's been invited by the staff of <x0-edge” new ones.

It may be common for two national “to compete for” young players, but it is more rare to see a footballer called by two nationals for the same match.

However, Lagha will have to make a choice. If he hasn't yet communicated, Lyon's talent may reject France's invitation, since it defended the colors of Algeria U-17 at the beginning of the year, contributing to its qualifications in the CAN.
