With just a few days to go before the matches against South Korea and Scotland, the Elephants training camp in London is proving to be a headache for Émerse Faé.

Several key players, including Odilon Kossounou, Ghislain Konan, and Inao Oulaï, are still missing, slowing down the team’s tactical preparations.

Following the incidents in 2022 and the Amad Diallo case in June 2025, these recurring administrative failures raise questions about the logistical organization surrounding the African champions.

For the coaching staff, the immediate priority is now to make do with a reduced roster while hoping for a last-minute resolution.

These setbacks are disrupting what is otherwise a crucial preparation period ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
