Germany have identified Ivory Coast winger Yan Diomande as a major threat ahead of Saturday’s crucial Group E clash at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with coach Julian Nagelsmann warning his side against complacency after their emphatic opening victory.
The match in Toronto could determine which side secures an early place in the knockout stage after both teams opened their campaigns with victories. Germany thrashed Curaçao 7-1 in their opener, while Ivory Coast edged Ecuador 1-0 thanks to a late winner from Amad Diallo.
