AFCON 2023: Which Premier League stars will play in the tournament this season?
Cameroon and Namibia were the last teams to book their tickets to Ivory Coast on Tuesday night to seal the 24-team line-up for the winter tournament.
It all kicks off on January 13, 2024, meaning Premier League players called up will be absent from domestic duty for as long as a month, with the final scheduled for February 11.
Newcastle and Manchester City are the only clubs not likely to send a player to AFCON, while the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham and Liverpool are all waving goodbye to star players.
