Tunisia duo test positive to Coronavirus

Ferjani Sassi and Seifeddine Khaoui did not play any part in Tunisia’s friendly against Nigeria on Tuesday after testing positive to coronavirus.
The duo were in the squad that defeated Sudan 3-0 at the Stade Olympique, Rades on Friday.


Khaoui, who plays for Ligue 1 club Olympic Marseille scored the Carthage Eagles opening goal in the game with Ali Malooul and Ben Slimane also on target.
Zamalek’s midfielder Sassi was an unused substitute in the win against the Sudanese.
Sassi has scored five goals in 57 appearances for the Carthage Eagles, while Khaoui has netted twice in 12 outings.
