The Ivory Coast national team coach is set to announce his squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tomorrow, Wednesday, sparking much anticipation across the country.
A central question is whether Gervinho will make the cut for Egypt. The debate has been hot in the media, but Didier Drogba, one of Ivory Coast’s most respected footballers, has voiced his support for the former national team star.
“We have a very good team with very talented players. We have Pépé, Gradel, Zaha, and Gervinho is also a key player in this squad. He should be selected because he still has a lot to offer,” Drogba stated.
Ivory Coast, drawn in Group D, will open their campaign against South Africa on June 24, making the squad announcement highly anticipated by fans eager to see which stars will represent the Elephants in Egypt.
