Cameroon confirm 2021 Africa Cup of Nations will be played at start of year
Cameroon have announced the Africa Cup of Nations will be moved from the summer to next January - which will have implications for a number of Premier League clubs.

The tournament was due to be held in June and July but, due to weather conditions in the country at that time of year, the Cameroon Football Federation has decided to stage it between 9 January and 6 February.

I dont like this. This is going to impact the chances of big clubs signing many of our key players. You might also see some major dropouts and fake injuries just before the tournament, as some clubs armtwist their players not to attend (Leicester recently said Ndidi will likely not participate in qualifiers and friendlies this match for example).
