England boss Gareth Southgate says he understands Wilfried Zaha's decision to play for Ivory Coast as the Crystal Palace forward prepares to face the Three Lions at Wembley on Tuesday.
Zaha, 29, won two caps for England - making his debut in November 2012 with Raheem Sterling - before switching to the country of his birth in 2016.
He was able to do that because both England appearances came in friendlies.
"He's a talent," said Southgate, who managed Zaha at under-21 level.
Zaha, who was born in Abidjan and moved to London aged four, has won 26 caps for Ivory Coast and played in the Africa Cup of Nations three times.
