There had been concerns about whether the Ivory Coast star would even
be back for the beginning as the season as well, more importantly, for
his greater well being after he contracted the disease on a visit to

is almost already fully recovered from the mild malaria strain, though
playing any part of Monday’s friendly against Burgenland in Germany
would almost certainly be asking too much.
