Mahrez and Benrahma will be part of the travelling party that will fly to Cameroon just 24 hours before the game against Uganda.
The Algerians are playing the match for formality and pride after sealing their qualification in March with a 100 percent record.
However, the Uganda Cranes must win the game to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Ivory Coast finals alive.
