Burkina Faso face a crucial match against the Central African Republic this Monday at the Stade Larbi Zaouli in Casablanca, Morocco, on matchday 2 of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Abdou provides an update on the injury situation

On the eve of the match, head coach Amir Abdou gave an update on the condition of his squad: “As far as the injury situation is concerned, Edmond and Ismaïla are doing better. However, Dango Ouattara has not recovered. There is also Hervé Koffi, whom we will assess tonight before we know more.”

Dango Ouattara is ill, according to the Étalons coach. He did not reveal the nature of the Brentford player's illness, who was already absent against Benin in the 1-1 draw.

A win is essential to get back on track

After disappointing in Ouagadougou by conceding a 1-1 draw on the opening matchday, the Étalons want to win and put themselves in a better position in Group F.

In the same group, Mauritania, who beat the Central African Republic 3-1 on the opening matchday, are the leaders. The Fauves du Bas-Oubangui, beaten in their opening match, will also try to get back on track against Burkina Faso.
