Tunisia’s camp at the Africa Cup of Nations has been rocked by a Covid-19 outbreak, and the Tunisian Football Federation stated on Wednesday that up to seven players could miss their last group game against Gambia on Thursday.

Tunisia, who has three points from two games, will be looking for at least one more to ensure a place in the last 16, if not as one of the top two in Group F, then as one of the four best third-place finishers.

Wahbi Khazri, who scored twice in their 4-0 win over Mauritania on Sunday, is the most recent player to test positive for the drug.

Replacements Mohamed Amine Ben Hamida, Mohamed Ali Ben Romdhane, Aymen Dahmen, and Ali Jemal are set to miss out, as are Ghailane Chaalali and Ali Maaloul, who both impressed on Sunday.

Tunisia, on the other hand, had a boost when Dylan Bronn, Mohamed Drager, and Naim Sliti returned negative tests and were released from isolation, according to a spokeswoman.
