Leicester City midfielder Riyad Mahrez tonight continues his countdown to the World Cup finals in Brazil when Algeria take on Romania in a warm-up game in Switzerland tonight.
The 23-year-old is set to pick up his second cap for the Desert Foxes when the two sides meet in Geneva, as Algeria prepare for the World Cup campaign.
Mahrez, who joined City from French side Le Havre in January, made an impressive debut as Algeria beat Armenia at the weekend, and his performance was enough to cement his place in head coach Vahid Halilhodzic's 23-man squad.
Mahrez has been propelled into the spotlight since joining City and Halilhodzic has admitted he only saw the wide man in action for the first time in February.
The French-born player has been a revelation since joining City, making 19 appearances and scoring three times as they stormed to the Championship title.
Algeria are in a tough group in Brazil along with Belgium, Russia and South Korea.
They kick off their campaign on Tuesday, June 17, against Belgium before facing South Korea on Sunday, June 22, and Russia on June 26.
City team-mate Andy King is also in international action tonight for Wales, as they take on Brazil-bound Holland in Amsterdam.
King will be hoping to add to his 27 caps for Wales as Chris Coleman's side prepare for their European Championship qualifying campaign, which kicks off in October.
It will be a tough game for King's Wales as Holland continue their build-up for Brazil, where they will face holders Spain, Chile and Australia.
England are also in friendly action tonight as they take on Ecuador in Miami before finishing their warm-up fixtures against Honduras ahead of their opening fixture of the World Cup against Italy on June 14 in Manaus.
