More than a week after the incident, the Manchester City full-back has not yet commented on his departure from the Fennecs camp. But his father broke the silence in a statement relayed by the Algerian press.
"My son was unfairly treated," he said, confirming that a conflict prior to the gathering is at the origin of the situation. He did not provide further details on the nature of the problem.
The 23-year-old player abruptly left the Algerian group, sparking numerous speculations. Several versions circulated, but no official confirmation had come until now.
The affair continues to provoke reactions in Algerian football circles. A direct statement from Rayan Aït-Nouri is now awaited to clarify the facts.
