Benalouane Turns Tunisia Down

January 22, 2009

St Etienne’s central defender Yohan Benalouane has told Tunisia he is not interested in playing for their national team.

The French-born defender, who parents hail from the North African country, says he prefers to take the chance of winning a call-up to play for France instead.

Tunisia had hoped to include him in their squad for March’s World Cup qualifier in Kenya.
