Moez Ben Chrifia’s Return Delayed After Injury Setback
Espérance de Tunis goalkeeper Moez Ben Chrifia has suffered a major setback in his recovery, ruling him out of the highly anticipated Tunisian Ligue 1 Clasico against Étoile du Sahel this Thursday. After resuming training following a previous injury, Ben Chrifia was expected to return to the squad for the crucial match. However, during Tuesday’s training session, the goalkeeper experienced a relapse, feeling pain and having to leave the field.
As reported by Gnet, the injury has delayed Ben Chrifia’s return to action, much to the disappointment of both the player and his teammates. With the Clasico just days away, Espérance de Tunis will once again turn to Wassim Hlel, who will continue in goal for the team in Ben Chrifia’s absence.
The injury setback is a blow for the defending champions, who will be hoping that Hlel can continue to deliver solid performances as they face their fierce rivals, Étoile du Sahel, in a match that is expected to have significant implications for the league title race.
