"When I watch the training, there are players that should be playing, but it's hard with one game to take some players from the team, because they are doing well also during the training in games. But let's use Amad and Bryan in these games and we will see in general." The Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on December 21, with players joining their national teams slightly earlier.

With the final not scheduled until January 18, some clubs could be without their top players for up to a month, including Liverpool losing talisman Mohamed Salah.

Chelsea have an opportunity to capitalise in December and January with no first-team players away at AFCON, while Aston Villa will only lose Ivorian international Evann Guessand. Leeds won't be losing any players to Morocco, but it's a different story for fellow newcomers Burnley.
