Victim of a huge shock on Tuesday, during the meeting between Algeria and Uganda, Amine Gouiri injured his shoulder again.
Three days after qualifying for the 2026 World Cup, Algeria settled for the minimum on Tuesday against Uganda. Surprised by the visitors from the first minutes of play, the Fennecs finally reversed the situation in the last minutes of the match thanks to two penalties converted by Mohamed Amoura (81e90e+9).
Algeria nonetheless suffered a huge scare. Consequence of the violent shock suffered by Amine Gouiri, hit head-on by the opposing goalkeeper, Salim Magoola, while his eyes were glued to the ball. The two protagonists were left on stretchers and the concern was particularly great concerning the Olympique de Marseille striker.
Despite the impact of his head against the pitch, the former Rennais certainly remained conscious all the time but the concussion protocol was triggered and the native of Bourgoin-Jallieu was evacuated with a large bandage on his head. Already out of the match against Le Havre this weekend due to the concussion protocol, Amine Gouiri was also injured in the shoulder.

The medical staff quickly put him back on the pitch but the Algerian striker was taken to hospital to undergo examinations. “ He took a very hard blow to the shoulder and headcommented the coach at a press conference. You need to assess your situation. According to my information, he has already left for checks and we hope that it will not be too serious », Confided the Algerian coach, Vladimir Petkovic, after the meeting.
