Tunisian skipper Khaled Badra will have to sit out the African Nations Cup final against Morocco on Saturday after picking up two yellow cards.
Badra was booked in the quarter-final win against Senegal and then again for a foul on Nwankwo Kanu in the semi-final victory over Nigeria on Wednesday in a match where he scored his team's equaliser from the penalty spot eight minutes from the end to send the tie into extra-time.
"I am very disappointed that I cannot play in the final," said Badra.
"But Karim Saidi will now come into the side and I am certain he will give a good account of himself."
Badra, who was also on target in the 5-3 penalty shoot-out win against the Super Eagles, has no doubt that Tunisia can end their long wait for a first African Nations Cup title after twice finishing runners-up in 1965 and 1996.
The captain also believes in divine intervention.
"God granted us the vow to go to the final and we will be guided to the conquest of the title with the help of the Tunisian public on what will be a great day," he said.
