Algeria brought forward Riyad Mahrez back into the starting lineup as captain for their World Cup Group J match on Monday (June 22, 2026) against Jordan, who made two changes.
World Cup debutants Jordan will be eliminated if they lose to Algeria in the match at the San Francisco Bay Area Stadium.
Former Manchester City player Mahrez makes his first start of this World Cup after being on the bench in the opening defeat by Argentina. He takes over the captaincy from Aissa Mandi.
Argentina beat Austria 2-0 in Dallas earlier on Monday to book their place in the next round.
