Amad recalled by Ivory Coast

The Manchester United youngster has really impressed on loan at Sunderland and has been rewarded with a call-up as he looks to represent his country for the first time since 2021.

He played in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier with Niger, as a late substitute, and in two friendlies, scoring an injury-time free-kick winner in the 2-1 victory over Burkina Faso.

Ivory Coast are to play Comoros twice, on Friday 24 and Tuesday 28 March, in qualification for the next Africa Cup of Nations.

Coach Jean-Louis Gasset has named a 23-man squad, including another United loanee in Eric Bailly, who is currently with Ligue 1 outfit Marseille.
