Ivory coast star Seb Haller in doubt for AFCON
Striker Sebastien Haller, whose goals took the Ivory Coast to the last Africa Cup of Nations title, could miss out on this month's tournament in Morocco through injury.
The striker hurt his hamstring playing for Utrecht in the Dutch league at the weekend and has been undergoing treatment since joining up with the Ivorian squad at their training camp in Marbella, Spain this week.
The Ivorian federation said it was still waiting for test results before making any decision on the 31 year-old's availability.
Haller missed the start of the 2023 finals because of an ankle injury but returned to the side in the knockout stages and scored the winning goal in both the semi-final and final as it won the tournament.
Ivory Coast kicks off the defence of its title against Mozambique in Marrakech next Friday.
