Franck Kessié, player to watch!
The Al-Ahli midfielder has become one of the great leaders of the Ivorian team and started all the matches in the process leading up to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Now, after managing to be in the African Cup, Kessié is running to be the best reference in the offensive generation that Ivory Coast needs and his contribution will be very important for the future and the search to continue improving with this group of players. This is one of the figures of his team and arrives with 6 goals and 2 assists in 21 games with his club.
How does Ivory Coast get there?
Those from the Ivory Coast are participating in this friendly duel as part of their preparation to host the African Cup in their country. The Ivorians present a list with interesting players such as Franck Kessié, Serge Aurier, Seko Fofana, Odilon Kossounou, Karim Konaté, Sebastien Haller and Nicolas Pepé. Ivory Coast is a power in the CAF zone and it will seek to continue maintaining the football rhythm with friendlies, hoping that it can get into the fight for the title of the African continent. The Elephants are part of group A along with Nigeria, Equatorial Guinea and Guinea-Bissau, so they will have to start in the best way to be able to aspire to get into the Round of 16 and head towards the Africa Cup title.
Sierra Leone's last roster!
This is the latest team roster: Ibrahim Sesay, Mohamed Kabia, Abdul Kabia, Emmanuel Samadia, Osman Kakay, Tyrese Fornah, Alhassan Koroma, Alusine Pagal Koroma, Mohamed Buya Turay, Sullay Kaikai and Augustus Kargbo.
Tyrese Fornah, player to watch!
The FC Derby County midfielder will seek to continue being a fundamental piece of the team, he is one of the orchestrators of the offensive and comes to this duel after being the main reference in the forward part of the Sierra Leone team. Fornah arrives as one of the recent signings of the British team and will seek to contribute offensively to the team. During this season with the team he has played 18 games where he scored 1 goal and gave 2 assists. The most important thing for him is to begin to have greater consistency on the field of play and to fit in better with players like August Kargbo to form a lethal forward.
How does Sierra Leone arrive?
The Sierra Leone team enters the Stade de San Pédro, to face the Ivory Coast team and continue its preparation path towards future CAF competitions in future years. They were part of the Africa Cup qualifiers, however they were left out in the previous round, losing to Nigeria and Guinea-Bissau. In the preliminary phase of the African Cup, they achieved 5 points, after a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses. The Sierra Leonean team has a good base of players led by Mohamed Kamara, Tyrese Fornah, Daniel Kanu, Abu Dumbaya, August Kargbo and Osman Kakay. The Sierra Leone team has the ability to enter the next World Cup and be one of the teams that fight the most in its region.
