A statement from the Ivory Coast national team confirmed that Inter striker Ange-Yoan Bonny sustained an injury during Inter's 2-0 Serie A victory over Como on Sunday evening. He has therefore withdrawn from the squad for Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

Initial call-up
Bonny had originally been called up for international duty in those two matches by coach Hervé Renard.
Replacement
Bonny has been replaced by SK Sturm Graz forward Oumar Diakité.
Bonny's international and club figures
Bonny turned 23 in October and has seven senior caps for the Ivory Coast. He initially represented France at all the youth levels up to Under-21, then made his full debut for the Elephants during the 2026 World Cup campaign. He has scored three goals in 14 appearances for Inter so far this season between Serie A and the Champions League.
