Egypt suffer late defeat in AFCON final

We will have two players at this year’s Africa Cup of Nations, being held in Gabon.

Find out when they’ll be in action and how they’re getting on with their respective countries:

Ismael Bennacer
Algeria 2-2 Zimbabwe, January 15
Algeria 1-2 Tunisia, January 19
Senegal 2-2 Algeria, January 23

Ismael was called up by coach Georges Leekens at late notice after an injury to Saphir Taider. He was an unused substitute as Algeria drew 2-2 with Zimbabwe. Riyad Mahrez opened the scoring before Kudakwashe Mahachi and Nyasha Mushekwi put Zimbabwe in front.
