The Elephants will be without their starting goalkeeper, Copa Barry, for their friendly against Belgium on Wednesday at the King Baudoin Stadium in Brussels. Barry withdrew from the match this morning due to a calf strain. Additionally, he will also miss his club’s championship match next weekend.
Sabri Lamouchi, the Ivory Coast coach, will have to choose between Sylvain Gbohouo and Sayouba Mandé to guard the Elephants’ goal. This setback adds to the list of absentees for Didier Drogba’s squad.
On Tuesday, the FIF announced the absence of Akpa Akpro, Bolly Mathis, Angoua Brou, and Bamba Souleymane from the squad.
