Emerse Fae explains Sebastien Haller’s absence from the squad

The Ivory Coast international has not been selected for the upcoming international break.

Having missed the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco due to a muscle injury, Sebastien Haller has still not returned to the Ivory Coast national team. The FC Utrecht striker has not recovered from his physical setbacks. That is why he has not been called up for the friendly matches against South Korea on 28 March and Scotland on 31 March, explained the Elephants’ manager during his press conference.

We feel sorry for Haller. Before talking about difficulties, it is mainly physically that he is struggling to recover. What saddens us is that he is unable to perform at his best. We hope that by the time of the World Cup, he will have regained his physical fitness and that this will allow him to express himself on the pitch.
