The passage provides information about the unfortunate situation faced by Issam Jemâa, the Tunisian striker, following the Algeria-Tunisia match in the CAN (African Cup of Nations) where Tunisia lost 0-1. Jemâa, who had to exit the game due to injury, is reported to have suffered from an internal lateral knee ligament injury.
The coach of the Tunisian national team, Samir Trablesi, expressed concerns about Jemâa’s injury during a conference, stating that exams would be conducted to assess the extent of the injury, and he hoped for a quick recovery.
Unfortunately, the subsequent exam results did not bring good news for the Tunisian team. The report states that Issam Jemâa is ruled out for the remainder of the CAN, indicating a significant setback for the Eagles of Carthage. The loss of Jemâa, a scorer for the team, is considered a hard blow for Tunisia, and they will now have to navigate the competition without him.
The passage also mentions a regulation in the competition that prevents the replacement of a player unless they were injured 24 hours before the start of their team’s first match. As Jemâa’s injury occurred after the first match against Algeria, Tunisia is unable to bring in a replacement for him.
This news comes ahead of Tunisia’s next Group D match against Ivory Coast, adding to the challenges faced by the team in the tournament.
