The Carthage Eagles head coach, Mondher Kebaier, and 12 other players including the team captain have all tested positive for COVID-19.
Kebaier was absent during the pre-match press conference on Saturday at the media centre of the Roumdje Adjia Stadium, Garoua.
While addressing journalists, Jalal Al-Qadri, Tunisia’s assistant coach said the affected players will not be available for the game.
The other eleven players are Aissa Laidouni, Dylan Bronn, Ghaylène Chaalali, Ellyes Skhiri, Anis Ben Slimane, Mohamed Romdhane, Ali Maâloul, Ben Hmida, Aymen Dahmen Yoann Touzgha, and Issam Jebali.
Meanwhile, goalkeeper Farouk Ben Mustapha is suspended for the game.
