Wissem El Abdi

Zamalek defender Wissem El-Abdi has been recalled by French coach Roger Lemerre to the Tunisian squad to face Guinea in a friendly on August 22nd.

Lemerre also selected Brazilian-born forward Francileudo Dos Santos after a long period out with a knee injury.

The former France coach included goalkeeper Larbi Mejri and defender Chedi Hammami for the first time.

The Guinea match is intended as a warm-up for the 2008 African Nations Cup qualifier against Sudan next month, even though both teams have secured a place in the finals.

However, the Tunisians should be seeking vengeance from their latest 3-0 drubbing against Guinea in the 2006 African Nations Cup in Egypt.
