Ivorian forwards Wilfried Bony, Salomon Kalou and Thomas Toure have all been ruled out injured of the Elephants’ FIFA World Cup qualifying double header against Liberia on November 13 and 17 .
Coach Michel Dussuyer has called up Roger Assale as backup with defender Arthur Boka also returning for the reigning African champions.
Goalkeeper Ali Badra Sangare and midfielder Serge Yao N'Guessan, who both play in the Ivorian league, have also been called up.
"Liberia is a respectable rival who beat Tunisia in qualifying for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations," said Frenchman Dussuyer.
"We have to expect a difficult clash."
