As they prepare for their upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers against Liberia, Cote D’Ivoire coach Michel Dussuyer has included Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony in his squad.
The Elephants manager has announced his 24-man squad for the two legged clash on Thursday, however, the biggest surprise is Bony’s clubmate, Yaya Toure’s absence in the squad.

“They beat Tunisia during qualifying for the 2017 CAF Africa Cup of Nations as well as eliminating Sierra Leona in the first round of World Cup qualifying.
"We are expecting a difficult confrontation."
