News about Jonathan Bamba

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).

Since being concussed while playing for Lille on Saturday, Tim Weah will miss the United States' CONCACAF Nations League matches against Grenada and El Salvador. On Saturday, the 23-year-old sustained a head injury in Lille's Ligue 1 match against Toulouse, and the US Soccer Federation announced on Sunday that Weah had entered the French domestic league's concussion protocol. Following Lille's 2-0 victory, the winger seemed to be doing well, as shown in a video shared by teammate Jonathan Bamba on Snapchat, with the American holding an ice pack to the right side of his head.

On Sunday, Lionel Messi ripped Lille hearts after the visitors almost pulled off a spectacular comeback victory, taking the game 4-3 to the Paris Saint-Germain after Lille recovered from 2-0 down to lead 3-2. Despite a promising start from the visitors, they found themselves 2-0 down after 20 minutes from Kylian Mbappe and Neymar, who later had to be stretchered off after suffering a traumatic injury. Bafode Diakite pulled one back shortly after, before Lille's Jonathan David and Jonathan Bamba's goals put them in front.
