Khazri has been injured on international duty

Khazri was involved in a collision in the 10th minute of the game and was substituted just minutes later.

The stretcher was required but Khazri was able to watch the game from the bench.

The initial prognosis is not yet known but it would a major blow to Tunisia's chances if their star play maker cannot take part in the opening stages of the tournament.

Khazri has been linked with a January exit from Sunderland and appears to have fallen out of favour with David Moyes.
