The technical staff of the Tunisian national team, led by Sami Trabelsi, has called up Göztepe's left-back, Mohammed Amin Cherni, to join the Carthage Eagles' training camp.This decision comes as part of preparations for the final two matches against São Tomé and Príncipe and Namibia, as part of the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.This call-up is aimed at compensating for the absence of Kasımpaşa defender Mortadha Ben Ouanes, who suffered an injury during a training session and will not be able to continue with the squad.The official page of the Tunisian Football Federation (FTF) confirmed in a statement that Ben Ouanes has been sidelined for physical reasons.

Meanwhile, an FTF official indicated that Youssef Snana, who plays for Al-Sailiya SC, did not join the training camp, with no official explanation given.Just as in last September's gathering, the former Club Africain forward was not among the players who traveled on Sunday night, despite a booking in his name.It's worth noting that Tunisia will face São Tomé and Príncipe on October 10, then Namibia on October 13, as part of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
