Bonny misses Ivory Coast national team due to muscle injury

Inter have suffered a blow with striker Ange-Yoan Bonny missing Ivory Coast's matches against Gambia in the Africa Cup of Nations Qualification due to a muscle injury sustained during the match against Como in Serie A.

Ange-Yoan Bonny suffered a muscle problem during the match in which Inter beat Como, after coming on as a substitute in the 72nd minute for his teammate Biagio Esposito.

The Ivorian striker is set to undergo medical examinations and scans on Tuesday, November 10, to determine the nature of his injury and assess his condition, amid anticipation within Inter to know his ability to return to the pitch after the international break.

The Ivorian Football Federation has decided to keep Ange-Yoan Bonny in Italy to deal with his injury, instead of joining the national team camp for the matches against Gambia. They also announced the call-up of Oumar Diakité, the Sturm Graz forward, to replace him for the two matches.

The Ivorian federation and Inter have not yet revealed specific details regarding the nature of the injury or the player's expected absence, with a clearer picture expected to emerge following the scheduled medical examinations on Tuesday.
