Fahid Ben Khalfallah has rejected Tunisa's call-up for the Nations Cup

Tunisia have lost two players from their preliminary squad ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.

Fahid Ben Khalfallah, who plays in France for Valenciennes, has turned down the call up to the Carthage Eagles but has not explained why.

While Club Africain striker Youssef Mouihbi is ruled out of January's tournament with a thigh injury.
