Bobo Balde is a key player for Celtic
Celtic will lose Bobo Balde and Momo Sylla for much of January after the pair confirmed they will play for Guinea in the African Nations Cup.
The duo will miss matches against Aberdeen and Kilmarnock and could be gone longer depending on how Guinea progress in Tunisia.

"I will do my work here and then I will play for Guinea," said Balde.

"Then I will come back and continue to work hard at Celtic, but this is an important opportunity for Guinea."

The African Nations Cup kicks off on 24 January

Things are surely hotting up. Sooner or late someone in the West is going to have to sign a TV deal to show the ANC. The amount of stars on display cannot be ingored for long.
