“I’m very sad,” says Emmanuel Eboue, opening up about being separated from his children

The former Ivory Coast international gave a moving account of his personal life.

Separated from his ex-wife, Emmanuel Eboue is cut off from his children. The former defender for the Ivory Coast national team is not even allowed to have photos of them. Despite his efforts, his ex-wife gives him no chance. When his son signed for Chelsea, the Ivorian was unable to be there either. Despite this pain, Emmanuel Eboue shares his pride in his son.

So far, I don’t have any recent photos of my children. When I ask their mother for new photos, she refuses to give them to me. They read my messages, but they don’t reply. I’m very sad because when he signed for Chelsea, I wasn’t there. I’m very happy for him. I want to be closer to my son so I can help him.
