Football career

Early career

He started playing football at Conakry by local club FC Touba.[1]

Aubervilliers

At the age of 16 he moved to the France to his uncle, where he stayed. After five months he joined FCM Aubervilliers playing CFA. He did not receive many opportunities to play, but he scored in the final match of youth tournament at Stade de France.[1]

Zbrojovka Brno

During the autumn of 2012 he was on trial at FC Zbrojovka Brno. On January 2013, he signed a three-year contract there.[2] After scoring 2 goals in 8 games for the reserve team, he got a chance to play for Zbrojovka's first team on 11 November 2012 in their game against Sparta, where he came in the game as a substitute for Milan Lutonský in the 81st minute.[3] On 1 February 2013, in the friendly match against Daegu FC, he scored his premiere goal for the first team.[4] He was part of the Zbrojovka youth team that won the Czech U-21 Junior League in 2013.[5]
Traoré scored his first Zbrojovka goal in the home game against Bohemians in the 15th minute on 29 July 2013. He got a pass from Pavel Zavadil and then beat goalkeeper by the beautiful shot under the crossbar. With this goal he equalised to 1-1 and helped to the final win 5-1.[6]

On 26 August 2013 Traore collapsed after league match at Ostrava . He underwent surgery with clogged arteries at the coronary intensive care unit of City Hospital in Ostrava. According to the doctors, extensive myocardial infarction could result in death. Traoré is from their perspective exceptional case, certainly the first in the country and possibly in the world. On 30 August 2013 Traoré left the hospital and continues home treatment.[7] During the 2014-15 season he prepared individually and in the meantime underwent several medical examinations. His health was fine, but professional football was not recommended to him.

Since August 2014, he tries a lower level to restart career. In AFK Tišnov he plays 1.B třída, group A, which is the seventh tier of Czech football and the third tier of South Moravian Region. He trains five times a week and wants to get back to the highest level. As the example he has a Nigerian footballer Nwankwo Kanu, who underwent surgery in November 1996 to replace an aortic valve and successfully returned to professional football.[8] After the first half of the season in Tišnov he was with twelve goals the second best goal scorer in the competition. According to the Zbrojovka, his condition has highly improved in the past period. From 12 January 2015, he starts preparing with a Zbrojovka U-21 team in unlimited load, but still does not take any matches.[9] Further improvement occurred by Traore on 27 January 2015 when he underwent test on Holter monitor and got permission to play warm-up matches. In late February 2015 he will have another medical examination and in the meantime he will train and play with Zbrojovka U-21 team.[10] In the second half of the season Traore will continue playing on loan for Tišnov. At the same time he has an individual training plan from fitness coach. Further tests await him on April 2.[11]
