For the forthcoming Africa Cup of Nations, seven Nottingham Forest players have received calls up from their respective nations.
January 3 is the cutoff date for the 24 participating countries to announce their final 27-man squads. However, a few
nations have already made public the rosters of the athletes they have chosen for the competition.
Senegal, who will be defending their title, has called up Reds duo Moussa Niakhate and Cheikhou Kouyate. Willy Boly, Serge
Aurier, and Ibrahim Sangare have been selected to represent Ivory Coast as hosts in the interim.
Nigeria’s 40-man provisional roster includes Emmanuel Dennis, who is
currently on loan at Istanbul Basaksehir, and Ola Aina. Nevertheless, Taiwo
Awoniyi, the injured striker, is left off the roster as he continues to heal from surgery on his groin.
The competition runs from January 13 to February 11 and the Alassane Ouattara Stadium in Abidjan will host the
championship game. The competition was rescheduled from its original June and July date because it would have
coincided with the host country’s rainy season. This was done out of concern for the weather.
While on international duty, Niakhate, Kouyate, Boly, Aurier, Sangare, and Aina may miss up to four Premier League
games. They might miss games against Brentford (January 20), Arsenal (January 30), Bournemouth (February 4) and
Newcastle United (February 10) depending on how far their countries advance.
On January 7, Nuno Espirito Santo’s team plays Blackpool at home in the FA Cup.
The following weekend is their planned winter break. The FA Cup fourth round
matches are set for the weekend of January 27–28, assuming they defeat the Seasiders
