Called up by Burkina Faso Ouattara has been called up to represent Burkina Faso ahead of the 2024 AFCON, Sky Sports reported Tuesday. Impact Ouattara will miss around the next month of action with Bournemouth, having been selected to represent Burkina Faso at the 2024 AFCON. The player has played more of a rotational role this season but has started in the club's past three matches, so his absence will cause some change within the team. The club will hope for Milos Kerkez (foot) or Lloyd Kelly (hamstring) to return from injury before their match on Jan. 21 against Liverpool to take over the left-back spot with Ouattara out, as the team is very limited on defensive options. However, they still do have Adam Smith available, but he would have to play out of position, as he is normally on the right flank of the defense. Ouattara also picked up a knock in the club's most recent match, so it will be intriguing to see how much he is used by Burkina Faso.
