N'Dicka (thigh) won't be available for Saturday's game against Germany, according to manager Emerse Fae. "The only player that's not available is the same player that was out against Ecuador. Everybody else is in perfect condition."
Analysis:
N'Dicka will be sidelined for a second consecutive match, and after a strong defensive effort and a clean sheet against Ecuador, don't expect Ivory Coast to tweak the defensive line. That means Emmanuel Agbadou should continue to start alongside Wilfried Singo at center-back, with Odilon Kossounou and Ousmane Diomande as backup alternatives. N'Dicka's next chance to play will be the group-stage finale on June 25 against Curacao.
