Raki Aouani, ES Sahel’s electrifying right winger, has been ruled out of Sunday’s Ligue 1 clash against JS Omrane due to a knee contusion that requires him to rest for three days.
Coach Mohamed Mkacher faces a tactical dilemma as Aouani, a key figure in the squad, will be unavailable for the match, which marks the 12th round of the Tunisian championship. Currently sitting in 8th place with 17 points from 11 games, ES Sahel is desperate for a win to climb the league standings.
A club insider shared with Africafootunited: “It’s a minor contusion, but the technical team is prioritizing the player’s recovery to safeguard his long-term health.”
Despite Aouani’s absence, the team remains optimistic as they gear up to host JS Omrane at 12:45 p.m. GMT. The home crowd will hope their side can rally without their star winger and secure vital points in what promises to be a gripping encounter.
Aouani’s return is expected soon, but his absence this weekend underscores ES Sahel’s careful approach to player fitness and long-term success.
