Drogba’s introduction during the opening 2-1 victory against Japan changed the game as the Elephants scored twice in two minutes to overturn the scores and get Lamouchi’s side off to a winning start. However, he has elected to stick with Bony as his lone striker, and he’ll be supported by former Arsenal winger Gervinho and Max Gradel, previously of Leeds.

Colombia meanwhile have named an unchanged line-up, meaning that all three goalscorers in the 3-0 win over Greece start in the shape of Pablo Armero, Teofilo Gitierrez and James Rodriguez.

Porto striker Jackson Martinez will have to make do with a spot among the substitutes once again, where he is joined by reported Manchester United target Fredy Guarin, who has been heavily linked this morning with a move to Old Trafford after the World Cup.

The match will see England's Howard Webb take charge of his first game at this year's tournament, which represents his first World Cup match since the 2010 final between Spain and Netherlands.
