Youcef Belaili is back in training with Espérance de Tunis, marking a hopeful return after knee surgery.
His recovery, considered rapid, has reignited his ambitions. But the Algerian international remains under a suspension imposed by FIFA, which he hopes to have reduced.
The goal is to return to play quickly and, above all, to keep his chances of participating in the 2026 World Cup alive.
Three major challenges lie ahead of him: regaining his peak physical condition, securing a reduction in his suspension, and convincing Vladimir Petkovic to welcome him back into the Algerian national team.
For the task ahead looks daunting. Even before his injury, Belaili was no longer a priority for the head coach, who favors other types of players. With fierce competition and a squad already set, his return now seems uncertain.
Added to this is another question mark regarding his club future. With his contract expiring in June, there is no guarantee he will continue his journey with Esperance de Tunis.
