The Express & Star understands the 28-year-old is spending time with his family in France over this international break, rather than with Ibrahim Kamara's side after his maiden call-up.

Boly was included in a 26-man party and apparently set for his Elephants debut, but he won't be playing in tonight's game against Benin or the one against Tunisia on Tuesday.

He was born in France and has represented them at youth level, but qualifies for the Ivory Coast through his parents.

Meanwhile, Wolves have sent under-23s midfielder Sadou Diallo on loan to Accrington Stanley until January.

The deal was done late but approved by the EFL.
