It appears that Nibombé Daré, the Eperviers defender, is expected to miss the match against Burkina Faso due to his second yellow card received in the Group D match against Tunisia. The card was issued by referee Daniel Bennett, but there is controversy surrounding the decision.
The South African referee seemingly made an error in showing Daré a yellow card for a foul committed by Serge Akakpo at the entrance to the penalty area. The CAF arbitration commission is expected to review this decision and may have the authority to nullify the card. If the commission decides to cancel the yellow card, Nibombé Daré would be eligible to play in the upcoming match against Burkina Faso.
