Bailly returns earlier than expected.

Ivory Coast came to CAN 2017 as the top candidate for the championship with many stars playing in the Premier League such as Eric Bailly, Zaha, Wilfried Bony. And they are also the defending champions. However, after a 0-1 defeat to Morocco last night, Ivory Coast became the former champion.

At CAN 2017, Ivory Coast was in Group C with Togo, Congo and Morocco. After 3 matches, they only won 2 points, ranked 3rd and were eliminated. Congo with 2 wins and 1 draw excellently won the top spot in the group. Morocco ranked 2nd with 6 points after the crucial match with Ivory Coast.

Manchester United fans will be delighted to welcome Eric Bailly back earlier than expected, with the centre-back likely to be fit for the FA Cup fourth round clash with Wigan this weekend.

Bailly only arrived at Old Trafford last summer but has adapted extremely well to become an irreplaceable player for coach Jose Mourinho. He is considered a rock in the Red Devils' defense thanks to his strength and determination.
