Cheikhou Kouyate has expressed his displeasure after the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations was moved back to January, a departure from the 2019 edition where it was staged in the summer.
Cameroon, host of next edition of the tournament, revealed the competition will take place between January 9 and February 6, and the change to the kickoff date was at their request, citing weather reasons.
The Crystal Palace man, who captained Senegal to the final of the 2019 edition in Egypt, believed the alteration will affect the players as well as their clubs.
