Algeria and Burkina Faso are clashing on Sunday in a friendly match in Blida. This meeting will serve as preparation for both teams before tackling the next day of the 2014 World Cup playoffs.

But the Stallions should be without one of their framers, Jonathan Pitroipa. According to 123Algeriasport the Rennes midfielder did not travel with his teammates to Blida. The reason for this absence is unknown.

After this meeting, the Desert Foxes will travel to Benin, while Burkina Faso faces Niger next weekend.
