Unveiled on Saturday, the list of 16 players retained by the coach of Tunisia, Jalel Kadri, for the preparation camp for the 2022 World Cup is causing a lot of ink to flow. In question, the absence of the young goalkeeper Sedki Debchi, revealed in recent months in the goal of Esperance Tunis, and the presence in his place of the veteran Aymen Mathlouthi (Etoile du Sahel), not summoned for three years.
Questioned by the local press on Sunday before leaving for the training camp in Saudi Arabia, Kadri implied that Debchi’s absence was due… to his club! “The day when Espérance Tunis will allow me to talk about the internal affairs of the club, I will give explanations as to the non-convocation of Sedki Debchi“, thus slipped the technician.

Inevitably, these remarks were little appreciated on the side of the EST, which immediately asked the person concerned to clarify them. In this tense context, it is difficult to know if Debchi still has a chance of joining the final list for the World Cup…
