Tunisia will pin their hopes on Montpellier’s Wahbi Khazri to steer them through the World Cup 2022 group stage, given that he is their standout player in a squad that mainly comprises players based in Egypt, the Arab Gulf and at lowly clubs in Europe.
The French-born forward, who also plays as an attacking midfielder, is second in Tunisia’s list of all-time leading scorers, having scored 24 goals in 71 internationals since making his debut in 2013.
