“I think she’s in hospital, but she will stay in Nigeria in the hospital because she has to travel tomorrow, not today.
“The doctor will stay with her, an Algerian official will stay with her. But I think at this time, I have no news exactly, but at this time they told me that she will stay in Nigeria in the hospital,” Benstiti stated.
The Algerian team and all back group staff were due to travel immediately after Tuesday’s match.
