Afcon: Montpellier star Andy Delort accepts Algeria snub in good faith

Montpellier star Andy Delort has sent his best wishes to Algeria after missing out from the country’s 23-man squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Delort was born to an Algerian mother in the city of Sete and once played for France U20 team.

Last month, the 27-year-old pledged his international allegiance to Algeria and has received the passport of the country.

However, coach Djamel Belmadi left the forward out of his final selection for next month’s continental showpiece in Egypt on Thursday.
