This brings unfortunate developments for Ivory Coast and Everton Football Club.
Arouna Koné’s knee injury, initially thought to be less severe, has turned out to be more serious than anticipated, extending his absence since mid-October.
There is no set timeline for the striker’s return to training, posing a significant setback.
Regrettably, this means that the Ivorian international is likely to be absent for the upcoming return match of the 2014 World Cup against Senegal on November 16, following Côte d’Ivoire’s 3-1 victory in the first leg in Abidjan.
The situation continues to unfold, and updates will follow.
