The question regarding Arouna Koné’s participation in Ivory Coast’s crucial World Cup playoff against Senegal on November 16 has been answered, and unfortunately, the Ivorian striker will not be available for the important match. To make matters worse, there are concerns about an extended absence from the field due to a reported cartilage injury. Everton, his club, has indicated the possibility of surgery, which could keep the former Wigan center forward sidelined for an extended period. Consequently, Koné will be watching the Lions of Teranga vs. Elephants encounter in Casablanca as a spectator in mid-November.
