CAIRO – 20 June 2018: Tunisia national team goalkeeper, Mouez Hassan, will not be available for Tunisia's remaining games at the World Cup group stage after suffering a shoulder injury at his team’s opening game against England.
Hassan suffered a shoulder injury at the first 10 minutes of Tunisia clash against England and he was forced to leave the pitch after 16 minutes from the start.




Despite conceding a goal from Harry Kane only 10 minutes after the start, Mouez was Tunisia’s best player and he managed to save many chances from Kane and Raheem Sterling.




Hassan left the pitch crying and he was replaced by Farouk ben Mustapha who had a great game.




Hassan was born in France to a Tunisian family and he holds dual French-Tunisian nationality but at the end he decided to represent Tunisia despite playing for France at youth levels.

Kane scored twice to lead England to defeat Tunisia 2-1 at the teams’ opening game of the World Cup. Fergani Sassi scored Tunisia's only goal at the game from a penalty.




Tunisia will face Belgium on Saturday at their second game and Tunisia fans hope for achieving a good result to keep their chances at the competition.
