Congolese winger Philippe Kinzumbi is gearing up to make an impact as Club Africain faces off against archrivals ES Tunis in a thrilling capital derby this Sunday.
After being rested during last weekend’s clash with ES Métlaoui, Kinzumbi has returned to full training, shaking off concerns following his brief injury during the December 8 friendly against Al Nasr Benghazi. The three-day recovery period proved effective, allowing him to rejoin tactical sessions ahead of the crucial Ligue 1 showdown.
The dynamic right winger, who is poised to reclaim his starting spot, brings a mix of pace and precision that could prove decisive in the derby. With Club Africain eager to assert dominance on matchday 12, Kinzumbi’s presence will be vital in unlocking ES Tunis’s defense.
Meanwhile, head coach Saïd Saïbi welcomes additional reinforcements. Central defender Hamza Ben Abda has rejoined the squad, and left winger Bilel Aït Malek is nearing a return to collective training, boosting the team’s depth for the big game.
As anticipation builds, all eyes are on Kinzumbi to deliver a standout performance and guide Club Africain to derby glory.
