Bonny Withdrawn from Ivory Coast Squad Due to Injury

Inter forward Ange-Yoan Bonny has been withdrawn from the Ivory Coast squad for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers due to injury. The national team said in a statement that the player was injured in Sunday evening's Serie A match, which they won 2-0 against Como.

Bonny, who had been called up by head coach Hervé Renard for these two matches, has been replaced by Sturm Graz forward Oumar Diakité. Ivory Coast will host The Gambia at home on Thursday, 12 November, and will play the same opponent away on 17 November.

Bonny turned 23 last month and has made 7 appearances for the Ivory Coast senior national team. At youth level, he represented France up to the under-21 level, and he made his senior debut for Ivory Coast during the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. This season, he has scored 3 goals in 14 matches for Inter in Serie A and the Champions League.
