News about Wahbi Khazri

Argentina and France met in one of the all-time great World Cup finals, with all of their peers competing to perform a masterpiece at the Lusail Stadium. For those 16 nations, the tournament has been off for a while. Those clubs that made it to the group stage returned home less than two weeks after playing only three matches. It was no surprise for some teams: they were never supposed to make the knockout rounds. For those people, it would have been a difficult pill to swallow. Sportsmail has taken a look back at the 16 teams that were cut from the competition field and rated how they did in the Middle East.

Budweiser is currently making "alternative, culturally appropriate" arrangements for player of the match awards to accommodate performers like Kylian Mbappe (pictured holding award backwards, left) who do not want to promote alcohol. In three out of four games, the French forward has chosen the player of the match (Budweiser logo, inset), but has consistently snubbed the beverage giant by holding the trophy backwards in order to obscure the logo. Since winning the award against Poland, it was reported that he picked up the gong against Australia and Denmark and snubbed any publicity of the Budweiser brand. Mbappe isn't alone with other participants, including Cameroon's Vincent Aboubakar, Tunisia's Wahbi Khazri, and Morocco's duo Yassine Bounou (right) and Morocco's Hakim Ziyech, who both want to do the same.

Tunisia's bench was seen gathered around a screen to watch Australia's shock 1-0 victory over Denmark, which saw the Socceroos advance to the World Cup knockout stage at their expense. Tunisia's replacements were left helpless as Egypt failed to score an equalizer, taking the African country into the knock-out stage for the first time.

Tunisia crashed out of the World Cup on Wednesday, despite having escaped a dramatic upset by edging a 1-0 victory over France. With a dramatic win over Les Bleus that required them to simply give themselves a fighting chance, the odds were stacked against Jalel Kadri's team as they attempted to reach the knockout stages. In the end, they gained three points thanks to captain Wahbi Khazri, who put on a good show when he announced that he was the winner after 58 minutes. Tunisia's last-gasp equalizer was disallowed by VAR, but on the whole, the Tunisians will leave Qatar with their heads lifted after winning by a landmark victory.

As France takes on Tunisia at the Education City Stadium on Wednesday, November 30, they will be looking to make it three wins out of three. So, with Tunisia's clash with France quickly approaching, Sportsmail takes you through all you need to hear about the Group D game.

They are locked in Group D on zero points on Saturday and know that a victory over their African rivals will give them a chance to progress to the knockout stages. However, the Socceroos will not be able to play. Tunisia demonstrated their mettle in a tense 0-0 draw with dark horses Denmark and will happily go toe with Arnold's physical presence in Al-Wakrah.

The 19-year-old, who is a member of a veteran team named by boss Jalel Kadri on Monday, includes veterans Wahbi Khazri and Youssef Msakni, who will share captaincy duties. Mejbri has made 18 appearances for the country since making his French debut in 2021 after swapping allegiances from France, which he competed for at the youth level. He qualifies to play for Tunisia through his parents. He has made three senior appearances for United and moved to Birmingham on loan this season, where he has appeared 15 times without scoring.
