Algeria's Haris Belkebla first call up to the national team has ended in absolute embarrassment after he was kicked out of the African Cup of Nations squad for showing his backside on a Fortnite live stream.
While on international duty, Algeria's second-choice goalkeeper Alexandre Oukidja was playing the popular battle royal game on his PlayStation 4 and went live on Twitch.
Yet, for reasons unclear, Belkebla decided to invade the stream and could be seen dropping his pants and showing his bottom to the camera.

Not happy with the Brest midfielder's conduct, manager Djamel Belmadi removed Belkebla from his 23-man squad before Algeria's 1-1 draw with Burundi.
It appears as though Mohamed Benkhemassa, who plays for SM Alger, will be drafted in as the 25-year old's replacement.
Belkebla has played three times for Algeria's U23s and represented the North African outfit at the 2016 Olympics. But his actions here might end his international career before it's even got it started thanks to the ruthless call from Belmadi.

Incredibly, this is a second backside-related story in the last couple of years after Belgium boss Roberto Martinez praised Eden Hazard's 'famous' ass' and analysed how it aids his performance.
Algeria, captained by Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez, are in Group C for next week's tournament alongside Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania.
