Afcon 2019: Injured Tunisia striker Wahbi Khazri rested ahead of Ghana clash

Injured Tunisia striker Wahbi Khazri is in a race against time to be fit for Monday's 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) Round of 16 clash with Ghana.

Khazri, who plays his club football with French side St Etienne, suffered a muscle injury during the Carthage Eagles’ last group phase match with Mauritania.

That tie ended in a barren draw but it was enough to secure the progress of coach Alan Giresse’s men.

According to the latest update given by Sohail Shemli, the team doctor for the Tunisia national team, Khazri has been told to rest.
