Bouazizi makes his return

Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre has recalled seven regular first team players for next week's friendly against the Ivory Coast in Tunis.

Four players from champions Esperance, who missed the last friendly against Guinea as a result of their Champions League commitments, make their return.

Also returning for the 10 September match are French-based goalkeeper Ali Boumnijel and Turkey-based players Riadh Bouazizi and Ziad Jaziri.

The match will act as another warm-up for next year's Nations Cup finals, which Tunisia are hosting.

Lemerre will be hoping for a better performance from the Carthage Eagles after their goalless draw against Guinea in Tunis two weeks ago.
