Goalkeeper Mohamed Lamine Zemmamouche was the last player cut as Algeria coach Rabah Saadane finalised his 23-man squad for the World Cup.

Saadane had just one selection to make after Lazio midfielder Mourad Meghni was forced to withdraw from the 25-man squad that has been preparing in Switzerland and Germany earlier this week.

Algeria suffered a 3-0 defeat in their opening warm-up game against the Republic of Ireland and face Saudi Arabia in Nuremberg on Saturday before flying to South Africa. Algeria will begin their World Cup campaign against Slovenia on June 13 before playing the United States and England.
