Odilon Kossounou
25-Year-Old
Atalanta
Serie A
GTD
Injury Thigh
Est. Return 6/4/2026
Trains separately ahead of WC
Kossounou (thigh) has been training separately from the rest of the Ivory Coast squad and is unlikely to be available for Thursday's friendly against France, according to Daniel Navas of Dsports.
ANALYSIS
Kossounou had already been ruled out of Atalanta's final two matches of the season with a grade one biceps femoris strain, making his ability to train fully with the national team a concern heading into the World Cup. The center-back contributed to four clean sheets across 29 appearances including 20 starts this season, posting 29 tackles, 22 interceptions and 55 clearances before the injury struck. Ivory Coast open their World Cup campaign against Ecuador in Philadelphia on June 14, leaving limited time for Kossounou to prove his fitness before the tournament begins. Should he be unable to recover in time, Wilfried Singo is expected to start in his place at center-back.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Option for West Ham?
Kossounou has emerged as a potential alternative for West Ham as they look to strengthen their defensive line, according to The Guardian.
ANALYSIS
West Ham are considering pulling out of a deal for Harry Maguire because of the time it takes to get done, especially considering the Premier League has already started. The Hammers are considering other alternatives at center-back, however. and Kossounou might be a decent option despite the fact he's only 22 years old. It remains to be seen if Leverkusen are willing to enter in transfer talks regarding the defender, though.
