Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore has been included in Mali’s senior squad for the first time, but the player is yet to make a decision on his international future.
Mohamed Magassouba revealed his selection for October’s international friendly against Ghana and Iran with the jet-heeled 24-year-old making the cut.
Red-hot FC Porto forward Moussa Marega, Southampton’s Moussa Djenepo as well as Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure were also among the 31-man squad announced on Monday.
Also earning a maiden Mali call-up is Everton new signing Abdoulaye Doucoure who had represented France at the U17, U18, U19, U20 and U21 levels.
