Leny Yoro will honor his first selection with the French national team.
The 20-year-old defender playing for Manchester United has been called up by the coach to replace the injured Ibrahima Konaté. This is a significant and early step in the career of this promising center-back.
This first appearance in the blue jersey also marks a crucial international turning point. Long awaited by the Ivorian federation due to his origins, the player has chosen to represent the French national team. Thus, the possibility of seeing him wear the Elephants' jersey one day officially fades away.
For Ivory Coast, this selection definitively closes a file closely followed by fans and local scouts. By making his debut with the French national team, Leny Yoro commits his international future to France, leaving behind the idea of an international career with the African nation.
