Expand AFCON moved to be in July a couple of years ago. Losing Ki is a blow though. Just had a look at the details and he could be gone for fucking ages! Tournament starts on the 5th of Jan and he can be called up 15 days before that (we're in negotiations with the SKFA on that front) their last group game is the 16th of January and the final is the 1st of February. So we're losing our best performing midfielder for our busiest period of the season. Balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
