Hamed Traoré has health concerns. The Ivorian international is suffering from malaria. He is currently hospitalized, informs his club Bournemouth. However, his condition has improved considerably, according to his coach."At the moment, he's recovering much better. The last few weeks have been difficult for him personally and, from a sporting point of view, he will be out for a while," said Andoni Iraola.
Without this infection, Hamed Traorè would have been eligible to play in the AFCON 2023, which his country is organizing. Coach Jean-Louis Gasset had called him up for the last training camp in November. On that occasion, he earned his 4th and 5th caps, while scoring two goals against the Seychelles (9-0).
