Cameroonian striker Albert Ebosse has died from an object thrown at his head on Saturday, August 23, 2014 after a league game between Kabylie vs USM Alger in Algeria.
The 24 year old striker, who scored a goal for Kabylie during the game, was struck by a projectile at the end of the match after his team lost 2-1.
A statement on the club website read:
‘The Ministry of Interior and Local Government, speaking through Minister Tayeb Belaiz, has given an instruction to open an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death of Albert Ebosse.’
