Ivory Coast will be without striker Sebastien Haller for the AFCON tournament. He sustained an injury playing for his club FC Utrecht. Aston Villa forward Evann Guessand has been called up as his replacement on the squad.
Haller scored the championship-winning goal against Nigeria in the final. His absence is a significant loss for coach Emerse Fae's team, given his experience. Guessand was originally on the reserve list before receiving the call.
