Wilfried Zaha has been included in the Ivory Coast squad for the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), just a month after Patrice Beaumelle, the manager, said the forward wanted to "reflect on the rest of his international career." Zaha was not called up by Ivory Coast for November's World Cup qualifiers, with Beaumelle saying the Crystal Palace star "asked not to come". Zaha's return is a boost for Ivory Coast as they bid to win the AFCON for the third time, following success in 1992 and 2015. Want the Crystal Palace latest?
