Khazri leads Tunisia line against Panama

Sunderland attacker Wahbi Khazri will again lead the Tunisia line in their final 2018 World Cup match against Panama on Thursday night in Saransk.

Khazri is again joined in the Tunisian attack by Fakhreddine Ben Youssef, but Anice Badri drops out of the XI for Naim Sliti.

As for Panama, Michael Murillo and Armando Cooper both miss out through suspension, while Blas Perez drops out of the centre-forward position for Gabriel Torres.
