Cheick Tiote and Ivory Coast are through to the semi-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations, where they will face Congo DR on Wednesday.
The Elephants reached the last four of the tournament following Sunday's 3-1 triumph over Algeria, which featured a brace from Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony.
Defensive midfielder Tiote was not involved in the quarter-final triumph due to a slight knock but is expected to recover in time for the semi-final tie.
Should Ivory Coast overcome Congo DR, they will face either Ghana or hosts Equatorial Guinea in the final, which will be played on Sunday.
