Algerian and Lille Midfielder, Nabil Bentaleb has been hospitalized in France after falling ill.
The 29-year-old Algeria international, who began his senior career at Tottenham in 2013, joined Lille from Angers last year and has made 34 appearances for the club.
In a statement, Lille announced that Bentaleb was “immediately taken care of and sent for hospitalization.” The club added, “LOSC [Lille] accompanies Nabil as closely as possible during this ordeal and gives him all its support.”
Bentaleb spent three years at Spurs, making 46 Premier League appearances, before moving to Schalke in 2017. “We’re sending you all our love and best wishes, Nabil. Everyone at the club is with you,” Tottenham posted on social media.
Bentaleb, who also had a loan spell at Newcastle in 2020, has earned 52 caps and scored five goals for Algeria since his international debut in 2014. The Algerian Football Federation wished Bentaleb “a speedy recovery” in a statement on social media.
