Ivory Coast will take on Germany this Saturday in an important Group E match, with both teams aiming to collect crucial points and move closer to the Round of 32.
Ivory Coast also enters the match in strong form after securing a narrow 1-0 win over Ecuador in their opening game. That victory came thanks to a late goal in the 90th minute.
Prior to the tournament, they built momentum with impressive friendly wins against strong opponents such as France and South Korea. Their organized defense and disciplined approach have made them a tough side to break down.
Ivory Coast faces notable squad issues ahead of this encounter, with several key players unavailable.
Forward Elye Wahi was unable to join the squad due to documentation issues linked to an investigation in France. Although he is now permitted to enter Canada, he is not expected to feature in this match.
In addition, Roma defender Evan N’Dicka will miss another game as he continues to recover from a thigh injury.
On the positive side, Amad Diallo is likely to be included in the starting lineup after scoring the decisive late goal against Ecuador.
His impact off the bench has boosted team morale and provides energy as the team adjusts its setup to cope with missing players.
Possible Ivory Coast starting XI: Y. Fofana; Doue, Singo, Agbadou, Konan; Diallo, Kessie, S. Fofana, Diomande; Bonny, Toure
The match will kick off at 9am BST on Saturday, 20th June.
For viewers in the United Kingdom, the Germany vs Ivory Coast World Cup match will be broadcast live on ITV1.
