Traore got injured in their last group match against Zambia and immediately left for his club in France, Lorient, for treatment.
The playmaker scored three goals for the Stallions, two against Ethiopia in a 4-0 win and the all-important 90th minute equaliser against Nigeria in their first group stage match.
He is expected to arrive in Johannesburg on Sunday just hours ahead of the AFCON climax taking place at the National Stadium.
"It is a clear sign that I am sending to my team-mates," Traore said.
"I am part of the group, even if I am not on the field.
"I feel 100 per cent part of the team. It is like a reward for me. My injury? If it is the price to pay to get into the final."
