(Reuters) - Algeria have named Manchester City attacking midfielder Riyad Mahrez in their 23-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt, but there was no place for Montpellier forward Andy Delort.

French junior international Delort had hoped to debut for the side after announcing a switch of allegiance earlier this month, but has been left out by coach Djamel Belmadi.
