"After consultation with the president of the Algerian football federation, Kheireddine Zetchi, the national team coach Djamel Belmadi has decided not to count on Haris Belkebla for the Africa Cup of Nations, for disciplinary reasons," the federation said on its website.
An apologetic Belkebla, who helped French side Brest earn promotion to Ligue 1 this season, said it was "a punishment that breaks my heart but which is reasonable on the part of the Algerian football authorities".
No replacement for the uncapped midfielder has yet to be called up into the 23-man squad.
