May 15th, 2006 | By: Ade Lamidi | 5 Comments »

On Saturday, I asked the question who will be in the final 23-man squad for Cote d’Ivoire?.

Well after naming a 20-man provisional squad, Henri Michel as added the 3 additional players that make up the final 23.

The players are goalkeeper Gerard Gnanhouan (Montpellier, France), midfielder Gilles Yapi-Yapo(that funky name deserves place in the squad) and striker Abdoul Kader Keita (Lille, France).

The 23-man squad is as follows :-

Goalkeepers: Jean-Jacques Tizie (Esperance Tunis, Tunisia, Boubacar Barry Copa (KSK Beveren, Belgium), Gerard Gnanhouan (Montpellier, France)

Defenders: Cyrille Domoraud (Creteil, France), Blaise Kouassi (ES Troyes, France), Abdoulaye Meite (Marseille, France), Etienne Arthur Boka (Strasbourg, France), Abib Kolo Toure (Arsenal,England), Emmanuel Eboue (Arsenal/England, Marc Zoro (FC Messina, Italy).

Midfielders: Didier Zokora (St Etienne, France), Emerse Fae (Nantes, France), Kanga Gauthier Akale (Auxerre, France), Romaric Ndri Koffi (Le Mans, France), Gnegneri Yaya Toure (Olympiakos,Greece), Gilles Yapi Yapo (Young Boys, Switzerland), Guy Roland Demel (Hamburg, Germany)

Strikers: Bakari Kone (Nice, France), Didier Drogba (Chelsea, England), Arouna Kone (PSV Eindhoven/Netherlands), Bonaventure Kalou (Paris Saint-Germain, France), Abdoul Kader Keita (Lille, France), Aruna Dindane (Lens, France).

There are no suprises as Henri Michel as kept faith with the squad that were runners up in the African Cup of Nations.
