Following the match, the Tunisian coach was asked for an update on Dortley and Msimango, two injured players who have not featured this season.
He revealed that Dortley is set to return to team training within the next two weeks, marking his comeback after undergoing knee surgery in March.
The assistant coach confirmed that Msimango is currently back in training and stands ready to make his return to the team as soon as his fitness allows.
“About Dortley, he will be back with us in two weeks to start training,” said Ben Youssef.
“But Given is part of the team, he is ready. It’s just about his fitness now and he will be ready; we will introduce him.”
The duo will face tough competition for a starting spot from current players like Zitha Kwinika, Inacio Miguel, and Aden McCarthy.
