Granada goalkeeper Luca Zidane has suffered fractures to ​his jaw and chin in a ‌2-4 La Liga 2 defeat by Almeria, ​leaving his participation in ⁠the World Cup with Algeria in doubt.

The son of France great Zinedine ‌Zidane left the pitch late on Sunday after suffering ‌a concussion in a clash ‌with ⁠an opponent.

Local media reports ⁠said the goalkeeper could miss playing for his country at the tournament, which will ​be held ‌in North America from June 11 to July 19.

“Medical tests performed on Luca Zidane, following the ‌concussion he suffered in the ​last match against UD Almeria, reveal that the goalkeeper ⁠also suffered a fracture in his jaw and chin,” Granada said ‌in a statement on Monday.

Luca Zidane, who was born in Marseille, switched allegiance to Algeria after playing for France at junior level. He helped his side ‌reach the quarter-finals of the most recent ​Africa Cup of Nations.

The 27-year-old has played 26 matches ⁠in La Liga 2, with Granada sitting ⁠14th on 45 points.

Algeria will face defending champion Argentina ‌on June 16 before taking on Jordan and Austria in ​Group J.
