Goal Scorer:
Ivory Coast
Ivory Coast are without the suspended Serge Aurier for an accumulation of cards, Odilon Kossounou, sent off for two yellow card offences in a nightmare 45 minutes against Mali, and Oumar Diakite, dismissed moments after scoring the quarter-final decider for receiving a second booking.
The Elephants have not started a game with Sebastien Haller and Simon Adingra, scorer of the 90-minute leveller in the last eight, but Fae could be tempted to play the pair from the off on Wednesday.
Ibrahim Sangare could be reinstated to replace Franck Kessie if he is healthy enough to return to the side.
Ivory Coast possible starting lineup:
Fofana; Singo, Ndicka, Boly, Konan; Seri, Kessie; Pepe, Fofana, Adingra; Haller
DR Congo
Desabre's men were without former Chelsea man Gael Kakuta in the round of 16 and quarter-final, and the attacking midfielder is doubtful for their next fixture.
The underdogs have four players risking suspension in a potential final, with Mbemba, Masuaku, Dylan Batubinsika and Theo Bongonda picking up bookings in the previous knockout rounds.
Unless Kakuta returns from his injury, the Leopards could name an unchanged side for the semi-final.
Congo DR possible starting lineup:
M'Pasi; Kalulu, Mbemba, Inonga, Masuaku; Pickel, Moutoussamy; Elia, Bongonda, Wissa; Bakambu
Prediction: Ivory Coast 2-1 Congo DR
