Nicolas Pépé remplace Yan Diomandé, blessé
A major blow for the Ivory Coast Elephants. With the March 2026 FIFA international window opening, the coach must contend with the absence of Yan Diomandé . To compensate for this loss, the experienced Nicolas Pépé has been called up.
RB Leipzig striker Yan Diomandé has been forced to withdraw from the national team camp following a shoulder injury sustained on Friday, March 20, during a Bundesliga match. The Ivorian Football Federation (FIF) officially confirmed his withdrawal on Monday and wished him a speedy recovery.
To replace the young prodigy, the coaching staff opted for a quick response by calling up Villarreal winger Nicolas Pépé . His experience will be a valuable asset for the two international matches awaiting the Ivory Coast national team.
