Ivory Coast exclude Drogba from squad


Drogba

Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard has excluded Didier Drogba and two other top stars  from his 23-man squad for the upcoming African Cup of Nations.
The Frenchman also excluded Didier Zokora and Emmanuel Eboue from his team for the tournament to be staged in Equatorial Guinea next month.


Drogba had retired and pressure mounted for him to return but after it became clear he had no intention of rescinding his decision Renard named his squad without him.
Liverpool defender Kolo Toure will join his brother Manchester City’s Yaya in the Ivory Coast squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.

The Reds defender will retire from international duty after the January tournament, some 15 years after winning his first cap for the Elephants.
