AFCON watch

Somewhat worrying. Last time he got a minor injury playing for Senegal, we lost him for six months.

Always been a big fan of Equatorial Guinea, me.

Big Willy and Sangare start. Serge benched.

EG go one up. Our boys in the penalty area to no real effect.

Sangare equalises but it’ll be disallowed for offside.

Preferred result for us I think? Means Boly and Sangare will be on the plane home.

I think most of the third placed teams qualify too. Unfortunately.

Still, presumably, gives them a harder game in the next round.

Your favourite Guinea?

Twatterx seems to think that Ivory Coast's chances of qualifying have just improved thanks to Ghana conceding 2 goals in added time to draw with Mozambique.
That's Chris Hughton's Ghana.

They are correct. Ivory Coast are almost certain to go through now.

Kouyate on the Senegal bench, Niakhate not involved.

I think I read he's back training again at least.

Afcon update...
Aina's Nigeria face Cameroon in the last 16 on Jan 27th.

If Aurier, Sangare and Boly's Cote d'Ivoire qualify (depends on Zambia (v Morocco) and Namibia's (v Mali) results today - both have to get a point do deny Cote d'Ivoire), they will face Kouyate and Niakhate's Senegal in the last 16 on Jan 29th

So should have at least two players back (if Niakhate is fit) by Bournemouth away on Feb 4th.

And, unsurprisingly, Chris Hughton has been sacked.

Namibia get their point. All down to Zambia now.
