Leicester could see 5 players going to The Africa Cup of Nations and Asian Cup, both running for 4 weeks in January.
Apparently that is more than Saints, Leeds & Ipswich will be missing in total.
Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho will be in for Nigeria, and the same for Patson Daka and Zambia. Harry Souttar is also highly likely to be called up to the Australia squad for the Asian Cup in Qatar, which is running simultaneously.
The 5th player is Abdul Fatawu who has been named in Ghana’s preliminary squad for Afcon this week and is likely to make the cut for the final 23.
Not all though are regulars Daka has only made 5 appearances but scored 2 goals, Ndididi has played 18 with 2 goals, Iheanacho played 18 with 5 goals, Fatawu 18 with 2 goals and Soutar just 2 appearances with no goals. |  |
