Doesn't play vs. Belgium
Hannibal (undisclosed) didn't play in Saturday's 5-0 friendly loss to Belgium.
Analysis: The Burnley playmaker was listed on the bench, but the fact that he didn't see any minutes in this blowout loss suggests he might not be ready to play yet. It remains to be seen whether Hannibal will be available for Tunisia's opening World Cup match against Sweden on Sunday, June 14.
Limps off against Austria
Hannibal (undisclosed) was forced off with a limp in the second half of Monday's 1-0 defeat against Austria, raising some concerns over his availability for Tunisia's World Cup opener, according to Noussour.
Analysis: Hannibal is expected to be Tunisia's undisputed starting playmaker in the midfield and the focal point of their entire creative setup, making his potential absence a devastating blow for coach Sabri Lamouchi heading into the tournament. No details have been provided on the nature of the issue, and the national team will assess his condition urgently over the coming days before providing any further clarity. Hadj Mahmoud or Ismael Gharbi could be called upon to take on a larger role in the engine room if Hannibal cannot recover in time for Tunisia's World Cup opener.
