N'dicka (hamstring) will miss Ivory Coast's World Cup opener against Ecuador after failing to fully recover from the hamstring tear he sustained in his right leg during the Serie A fixture between Roma and Lazio on May 17, according to coach Emerse Fae, per Fox Deportes. "I am not going to say that everything is going well in the medical room, but with the exception of N'dicka, everyone will be able to play tomorrow, so we are very happy in that regard."
