Dec 8 (Reuters) - Sunderland striker Bertrand Traore has been picked to compete in a sixth Africa Cup of Nations as part of a 25-man Burkina Faso squad named on Monday.

The 30-year-old was only 16 when he first appeared for Burkina Faso at the 2012 finals, making a substitute appearance in their last group game after the Burkinabe had already been eliminated, and has competed in four tournaments since, captaining the side two years ago.
