Medeama’s CAF Confederations Cup group opponent Mouloudia Bejaia, will miss the services of defender Salim Benali when both teams take to the field on August 23 after being expelled for violent conduct.

The 24 year old punched the stretcher-bearer in their game against Medeama at the Essipong stadium on June 29 and has been handed a four (4) match suspension and fined $ 5,000 by CAF.
