EST Announces Absence of Two Players Ahead of Crucial Match Against CS Sfaxien

L'Espérance Sportive de Tunis (EST) has announced the absence of two key players for their highly anticipated match against Club Sportif Sfaxien (CSS) on Thursday, as part of the 12th round of the Ligue 1 championship.

In a statement, the Bab Souika-based club revealed that goalkeeper Béchir Ben Saïd suffered a muscle injury during training, with the extent of his unavailability yet to be determined.

Meanwhile, right-back Mohamed Dräger is nursing an injury to his shoulder, which he sustained during their previous match against Club Athlétique Bizertin. The player is expected to take a few days off to recover.

The highly anticipated match against CS Sfaxien is set to be a closely contested affair, with both teams facing significant challenges. CS Sfaxien will also be without several key players, including Iyed Belaouafi, who has been ruled out due to a muscle injury, and Amine Aouaidi, who suffered a torn cruciate ligament on Wednesday.
