Esperance has failed to find a replacement for captain Yassine Merriah, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury to his knee in November.

Esperance have been on a frenetic pace this year, playing 11 matches in the Tunisian league and the African Champions League in 45 days.

The team will play 5 matches in the next few days, including an exciting clasico against Etoile du Sahel.
