YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Ivory Coast fullback Serge Aurier, who was knocked unconscious in Wednesday's African Nations Cup qualifier against Cameroon, has been declared fine by the doctors, the Ivorian Football Federation said on Thursday.

The 21-year-old Paris St Germain defender was knocked cold after an aerial clash with Cameroon captain Stephane Mbia early in the second half of the match in Yaounde and looked to be having convulsions as he lay prone on the pitch.
