Bologna's Saphir Taider: Leaves on international duty

Taider will be unavailable for selection for a few weeks after getting called up for international duty with Algeria.

Analysis:

Taider will take part in the Africa Cup of Nations, which will run between 14 Jan. and 5 Feb. The central midfielders only has one goal with no assists, though, he's been a key cog in the middle of the park for Bologna and will be sorely missed. Federico Viviani could be the main beneficiary for some playing time.
