Sheffield Wednesday defender Yan Valery played the full 90 minutes for Tunisia as they ended their World Cup campaign with a third successive defeat, losing 3-1 to the Netherlands in Kansas.

The 27-year-old, who ended last season on loan at Young Boys in Switzerland, started the first game, a 5-1 thrashing by Sweden which subsequently saw boss Sabri Lamouchi sacked.

Valery was then left out by new head coach Herve Renard for the 4-0 hammering by Japan before being restored to the line-up on Thursday night.

Tunisia finished bottom of Group F, conceding 12 goals and scoring just twice.
