Indeed, he suffered an injury early on during AFCON. He missed only five league games as a result but went on to notch a mere four goals and four assists in his last 12 league matches, compared with 14 goals and eight assists in the 20 preceding AFCON.
Adingra starting for the Ivory Coast. He'll be hoping today's game against bottom of the group Chad goes better than their match against current group leaders Zambia, having been subbed off at halftime in that 1-0 defeat.
I'm aware that's how it works, and I can see it says it sold out at 216+ points. But this wasn't listed as sold out until 9 am sharp the day it should have gone on sale to all STHs and those extra tickets became available shortly after 9 am - I wouldn't have pointed it out otherwise :shrug:
Looks like Mitoma is being rested for today's China-Japan game - I can't see yet if he's on the bench but he's certainly not starting.
Later today we could see Adingra, Gruda, Bart, JPVH, Wieffer, Ayari, Enciso, Estupinan, Sarmiento, and Buonanotte in action.
Minteh starting for the Gambia.
Edit: Moder for Poland as well, having watched Portugal thrash his side from the bench. O'Riley starts from the bench for Denmark, this would be his first cap since March and his third overall. McConville starts for Northern Ireland, having just made his debut...
