Africa Cup Of Nations: Tunisia's Youssef Msakni Sits Out Practice With Ankle Knock
The Esperance player missed his second day of training in Abu Dhabi yesterday.
Msakni had originally been expected back yesterday but the Carthage Eagles doctors preferred not to take any risks with the 19-year-old and allowed him to continue rehabilitating the injury rather than have him participate and potentially hurt himself again.
Meanwhile, Karim Haggui, who also missed out on practice two days ago with a cold, was back with his team-mates.
The North Africans have one more session in Abu Dhabi today before they leave on Thursday for Tunis. They will face Gambia on January 9th at El Menzah Stadium before they leave for the African Cup of Nations in Angola.
