After almost a year and five months of absence due to injury, Lassina Traore, back in the Burkina Faso national team for the double-header against Togo, is happy to be back in the group and hopes to bounce back.
"I am very happy to return to the team. I am part of a group and I am here to bring a plus, human side and sports side. The team is already on the right track. In my absence, the team was already playing well. It made a good CAN in Cameroon and is winning its games of the AFCON 2023 qualifiers and I want to bring something more, "said the player.
Regarding the meeting of this Friday, March 24, 2023 in Morocco, at the big stadium in Marrakech for the third day of the AFCON 2023 qualifiers, Lassina Traore remains confident and hopes to score for his return to the selection.
"I am confident. We will play well to win this first game. Why not score because it's been a while since I scored with the national team. I want to give everything to win the three points and try to qualify.
Four days after the first leg in Morocco, the Stallions of Burkina Faso will play in Lome, at the Kégué stadium, against the Sparrowhawks of Togo, from 19 hours GMT in the framework of the 4th day.
