AFCON CAMEROON 2021 Afcon 2013 : Burkina Faso final squad announced

Soon to  officially close the submission of final squads, Burkina Faso national team coach Paul Put has announced his list of 23 players for the Africa Cup of Nations 2013.

The Belgian technician has retained Alain Traoré, who is convalescent, but is keeping Ternana player Salif Dianda close at hand should the FC Lorient attacking midfielder be withdrawn.

Goalkeeper Abdoul Ouattara, defenders Bakary Soro, Soumaila Belem and Aboubacar Zerbo and striker Balima Wilfried were finally omitted. There will therefore be no representatives from the local championship in South Africa.
