Sabri Lamouchi names Ivory Coast World Cup squad

Didier Drogba, Yaya Toure and Wilfried Bony all feature in the provisional Ivory Coast squad for the World Cup.

Sabri Lamouchi has named the 28 players that will have a chance to represent the Ivory Coast at the summer's World Cup.

Former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba has been included, as have the Toure brothers, Yaya and Kolo, who play for Manchester City and Liverpool respectively.

Swansea City frontman Wilfried Bony has also received a call-up, but there is no place for ex Arsenal right-back Emmanuel Eboue.

Lamouchi will have to release five players before the cutoff date on June 2.
