Afcon 2019: Rotating Algeria squad working very well - Djamel Belmadi

Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi has backed his decision to rotate the Algeria squad at the Africa Cup of Nations finals.

Algeria continued with their fine run in the competition after goals from Riyad Mahrez, Youcef Belaili and Adam Ounas helped them to get past Guinea in a 3-0 result and book a place in the last eight on Sunday night.

The Desert Foxes, who are yet to concede a goal in the 2019 finals, have been resting and rotating up to three players since the tournament kicked off in Egypt and coach Belmadi believes it will help his side to stay fresh and focused.
