According to the Croatian press, the player on loan at Dinamo Zagreb could make his official return to competition in about ten days, during the match against Slaven Koprivnica.

This timeline would allow him to gradually regain match fitness ahead of the next Algerian national team camp, led by Vladimir Petkovic—an important step on the road to the 2026 World Cup.
