Simon Adingra has been included in the Ivory Coast squad for their March fixtures, offering the winger an opportunity to regain form amid a challenging period at Brighton.
Despite limited playing time in the Premier League, national team manager Emerse Faé continues to show faith in him.
A fresh start with the Elephants
Adingra’s involvement with the Ivory Coast team comes at a crucial time, as he struggles for minutes at Brighton.
His international call-up presents a chance to rediscover his rhythm and prove his worth.
With Faé expected to hand him a prominent role in the upcoming matches, the 22-year-old will be eager to make an impact.
His performances for the Elephants have often contrasted with his club situation, demonstrating his ability to thrive in a different environment.
These fixtures could serve as a turning point, allowing him to reaffirm his place within the squad and potentially influence his standing at Brighton.
Uncertainty at Brighton
Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, Adingra has found opportunities limited under Brighton’s current setup.
Increased competition within the squad has made it difficult for him to secure regular starts, raising speculation about his future with the club.
Reports suggest that a summer transfer could be on the horizon, with Olympique de Marseille among the clubs linked to him.
A move could provide him with a fresh challenge, particularly if his situation at Brighton does not improve in the coming months.
For now, the national team offers Adingra a platform to showcase his abilities.
With Ivory Coast preparing for key matches, his performances could have implications both for his international career and his club prospects.
The upcoming games will be a test of his resilience as he looks to reestablish himself as a key figure for both club and country.
