Ivory Coast FA are hoping Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure will shelve thoughts of international retirement.
The 32-year-old has not been included in his country's latest squad while he weighs up his options - but he admits to feeling pressure from his homeland to carry on.
Ivory Coast coach Michel Dussuyer has made little secret of his hope that Toure can be convinced to continue.
He said: "We already knew that his period of reflection on its future selection would take time. The ball is in his court."
