Opposed to Togo (September 24) and Guinea (September 27) in a friendly match, Côte d’Ivoire finds itself forced to make two changes in his list. Summoned for the first time, the two goalkeepers Issa Fofana (Al Hilal) and Charles Folly (ASEC), who play on the African continent, were indeed unable to join their teammates in France due to a visa problem, says the local press.
To replace them, coach Jean-Louis Gasset has decided to call on two reinforcements, Mohamed Koné (Le Havre) and Tapé Ira Eliezer (Bahir Dar, Ethiopia), two elements already called in the past. In the absence of Sylvain Gbohouo, always suspended for dopingit is however Badra Ali Sangaré who remains the number one.
