Ivorian roster ready
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
JOHANNESBURG, South Africa -- Ivory Coast has included Didier Drogba, Kolo Toure and Yaya Toure in its final squad for the African Cup of Nations. Ghana, however, is still waiting on the fitness of striker Asamoah Gyan.
Ivory Coast coach Francois Zahoui named his 23-man selection in United Arab Emirates, where the Ivorians are in camp, to meet the Wednesday deadline set by the Confederation of African Football.
Gyan has joined Ghana at its training camp in South Africa but the 26-year-old forward, the country's star at the 2010 World Cup, is in doubt for the tournament with a hamstring injury.
Ghana has until midnight GMT to send its final squad selection to CAF ahead of the tournament kickoff on Jan. 21 in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
