The Tunisian outfit will be looking to secure points after losing their opening match 2-0 to Brazilian giants Flamengo last week.
Nevertheless, it is now reported that some decisions regarding the squad are already being made behind the scenes.
According to MN News, the Esperance management have compiled a list of players set to leave the club.
The list is said to have been finalised, with Larry Azouni and Ayman Ben Mohamed certain to depart.
Roghi Oholo and Rodrigo Rodriguez are also included, but their potential exits reportedly depend on whether Esperance manage to sign a high-profile forward.
Most notably, Esperance have decided that Mokwana is untouchable, and they have reportedly rejected all offers received for the South African winger.
Mokwana’s current deal is only due to expire in June 2027.
According to Transfermarkt, he has so far registered six goals and four assists in his debut campaign.
