Tunisia striker Francileudo Santos is making good progress in his recovery from a shin injury, but will not be ready to face Saudi Arabia on Wednesday.

However, the Brazilian-born star should be fit to play against Spain in the Carthage Eagles' second World Cup Group H match next week.

Tunisia coach Roger Lemerre also has doubts about Alaeddine Yahia and Mehdi Meriah ahead of the clash with Saudi Arabia in Munich.

The pair are suffering from muscle strains and are unlikely to be able to resume training before Wednesday's match.
