AS FAR midfielder Zineddine Derrag has just been handed a severe punishment by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
After testing positive for a banned substance during the group stage of the Champions League, the player has been suspended from all sporting activities for three months.
This decision comes at the worst possible time for the military club, which is losing one of its key players for the remainder of continental and national competitions.
AS FAR’s management has not yet commented on a possible appeal, but this forced absence is already forcing the coach to revise his tactical plans to fill the void in midfield.
