The Ivory Coast national football team was eliminated from the World Cup 2026 after Wilfried Singo's injury against Germany. The 25-year-old defender broke down in tears after being forced to leave the game prematurely. The image of the star breaking down in tears on the bench broke the hearts of many fans. Wilfried Singo demonstrated his crucial role in the Ivory Coast team during the match against Germany in Toronto. The Galatasaray player was tireless on the right flank, constantly participating in offensive and defensive phases. However, at the 82nd minute, the defender born in 2000 suddenly clutched his left thigh and asked to be replaced. The medical team has not yet communicated an official diagnosis regarding the severity of Wilfried Singo's injury. The initial findings suggest that he probably suffers from a serious hamstring injury. Ivory Coast even created a surprise by taking the lead thanks to a goal from Franck Kessié in the 30th minute. However, the match turned in the second half. Striker Deniz Undav scored two goals in a row, at the 68th and 90+4th minutes, allowing Germany to reverse the situation and win 2-1. Despite their defeat against Germany, Ivory Coast still has all its chances of qualifying for the World Cup 2026. Previously, the African representatives had secured a crucial victory against Ecuador in their first match. On June 25, for their last match in Group E, Ivory Coast will face Curaçao in a decisive match. And the pressure will be great for the Ivory Coast players. So they will have to give their all to win this match. But the task will be difficult, as Curaçao is a solid team. Ivory Coast will have to be cautious and play intelligently to get a positive result.
