Last updated : 30 May 2006 By Brian Cartlidge

The Blues midfielder, who missed almost all of last season with a serious knee injury, played for the first forty-five minutes as the Tunisians ran out 3-0 winners against Belarus in a World Cup warm-up tournament game at the Stade 7 Novembre Stadium in Rades.

Hamed Namouchi scored the first Tunisian goal from the penalty spot after 35 minutes and Francileudo Santos doubled their tally just three minutes into the second half. Substitute Issam Jomaa completed the scoring in the dying seconds

Libya and Uruguay are also involved in the friendly mini-tournament and Tunisia will now face Uruguay, who won 2-1 in Tuesday night's match between those two side's, on Friday.

They will then fly to Germany for the World Cup on Monday where they are in Group 'H' along with Saudi Arabia, Spain and Ukraine.

Roger Lemerre's side open their World Cup campaign against Saudi Arabia in Munich on 14th June.
