The full list of Premier League players who will compete at the Africa Cup of Nations 2023.
The Africa Cup of Nations is a bittersweet tournament for football fans across the globe.
On one hand, it’s a major international tournament, a celebration of superb football and a generator of glorious, wacky and sublime moments.
On the other, domestic football fans must wave goodbye to some of their superstars for a month – potentially even longer – during the middle of the season. If you know any Mohamed Salah-less Liverpool fans, it’s time to give them a hug.
The issue was all set to be resolved in 2023 with the AFCON due to be hosted in the summer months to synchronise with European football calendars, but the rainy season in host nation Ivory Coast saw the competition knocked into 2024.
RadioTimes.com brings you all the details about which Premier League players will feature at the Africa Cup of Nations 2023.
