Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre has made 10 changes to his squad for the friendly international against Sweden in Tunis on 12 February.

It will be the second match in charge of Tunisia for the former French World Cup coach, who left out many of the north African country's major European-based star for his debut match against Egypt in November.

Lemerre has recalled Turkish-based midfielder Riadh Bouazizi and the Italian-based winger Imed Mhadhbi for the match, which forms part of Tunisia's preparation for next year's African Nations Cup finals.

Also returning is Brazilian-born defender Jose Clayton and the Bastia goalkeeper Ali Boumnijel.

There is also first call-up for 25-year-old striker Najeh Brahim, who plays in the German second division at Eintracht Trier.

Tunisia will be hosting the continental championship next January and officials said on Friday they planned to announce a busy programme of warm-up matches in the next weeks.
