AFCON 2025: Will Simon Adingra be absent?

The football world discovered the prodigious Ivorian Simon Adingra during the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast. Simon Adingra, an Ivorian international and key player in Ivory Coast's victory at AFCON 2023, is unfortunately going through a difficult period at his club in England. Could this situation impact his participation in AFCON 2025 in Morocco?

The Ivorian winger has been sorely lacking playing time since joining Sunderland at the start of the season. He has been relegated to the bench for several weeks and is struggling to regain a starting position. Since returning from injury on November 3rd, he has only accumulated 27 minutes of playing time in three matches.

During the recent weekend match against Bournemouth, the Ivory Coast international remained on the bench for the entire game, highlighting his precarious situation within his Premier League team. This lack of match fitness and delicate sporting situation could have serious consequences for his participation in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
