Lots of Sunderland fans have been reacting to some bizarre news on their former player Wahbi Khazri, who is facing a ban after reportedly punching a rival manager.
Khazri’s Tunisia were knocked out of AFCON 2019 in an incredibly entertaining and controversial encounter with Senegal on Sunday.
Tunisia had the chance to take the lead in the semi-final, but missed a 75th minute penalty, only for Senegal to do the same six minutes later, sending the game to an additional 30 minutes of action.
Senegal then took the lead ten minutes into extra-time, only for Tunisia to be gifted another penalty. This time however, the spot kick was taken away by VAR in the 115th minute.
And after the disappointment of losing in extra-time, reports are claiming Khazri punched Senegal boss Aliou Cisse.
If the alleged offence is proven true, the former Black Cat will face a serious ban from international football.
Khazri scored just three goals in 42 appearances on Wearside, particularly frustrating given he clearly has talent, racking up 16 strikes in 48 caps for his country.
Plenty of Black Cats are discussing the 28 year-old’s alleged act, and you can find some of the best Twitter reactions down below…
