Tunisia’s preparations for their final Africa Cup of Nations group match against the Gambia were thrown into disarray after 12 players in the 28-man squad contracted COVID-19, the country’s football federation said Wednesday.
Key player Wahbi Khazri is among the players to test positive.
“This evening (Wednesday) the players took part in a training session with 16 players present and the rest absent due to Covid-19 contamination,” the federation said on its Facebook page.
