Ivory Coast will be without Wilfried Bony and Salomon Kalou for their two-legged second round World Cup qualifying play-off against Liberia.
Injuries have seen forward pair Wilfried Bony and Salomon Kalou withdrawn from Ivory Coast's forthcoming CAF World Cup qualifying tie against Liberia.

Bordeaux forward Thomas Toure is also sidelined.
Ivory Coast coach Michel Dussuyer has called up Roger Assale alongside Arthur Boka.
