Tunisia head coach Sami Trabelsi has confirmed that star forward Hazem Mastouri is fully fit and available for selection ahead of his side’s AFCON 2025 encounter against the Super Eagles of Nigeria, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Trabelsi disclosed this on the eve of the match during his pre-match press conference, bringing a major boost to the North African side as they prepare for the crucial fixture.

Mastouri had been a fitness concern after picking up an injury earlier in the tournament, raising doubts over his availability for the game against Nigeria.

However, the Tunisian tactician revealed that the attacker has now made a complete recovery and is ready to feature.

The confirmation comes as a significant development for Tunisia, with Mastouri regarded as one of the team’s key attacking threats.

His return is expected to strengthen the Carthage Eagles as they aim for a positive result against the Super Eagles.

Both teams are set to clash on Saturday in what promises to be a decisive Group encounter at the AFCON 2025 tournament.
