Ivory Coast: "the player is disappointed", the behind-the-scenes of the turnaround with Ismaël Doukouré

Ismaël Doukouré, a central defender for Strasbourg, will not join the Ivory Coast national team despite being called up by Hervé Renard. After being contacted by Jean-Louis Gasset, he declined an initial selection to focus on his club. Although he recently obtained his Ivorian nationality, he withdrew due to health reasons after a Ligue 1 match, leading to Junior Diaz being called up as a replacement.
