Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez has announced his retirement from international football.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Mahrez confirmed the decision in a television interview with a sports broadcaster.
The announcement comes after Switzerland defeated Algeria 2-0 in their World Cup Round of 32 fixture today.
Mahrez leaves the Algeria national team with a record of 40 goals and 45 assists across 119 caps.
The 35-year-old played a key role in Algeria’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations triumph, helping the Desert Warriors clinch their second continental title.
