Crystal Palace forward Wilfried Zaha has been included in Ivory Coast's squad for next month's Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cameroon.

The recall comes after coach Patrice Beaumelle did not pick the 29-year-old for World Cup qualifiers in November, saying Zaha had opted out and wanted to "reflect on the rest of his international career".
