Espérance de Tunis is facing a significant setback as they prepare for a high-stakes encounter in the CAF Champions League. The club has confirmed an injury to Boualia, a development that serves as a major blow for Al-Taraji just before their critical matchup against Mamelodi Sundowns.
The first leg of the semi-final is scheduled for April 12, where Espérance will host Mamelodi Sundowns at Radès. This opening leg will be pivotal in determining who gains the upper hand heading into the second half of the semi-final tie.
To maintain tactical secrecy and focus, Espérance de Tunis has moved their training sessions behind closed doors. The move highlights the intensity surrounding the preparation for the clash with the South African side.
Officials have also confirmed the officiating crew for the match, announcing that Algerian referee Mustapha Ghorbal will take charge of the contest. With a spot in the final on the line, the pressure is on Espérance to overcome their injury woes and secure a vital result at home.
