Bad News For Chelsea As Star Player Has Been Called Up For The 2022 AFCON

The 2022 African Cup of Nations is almost at the corner as different African teams have started calling up their respective players for the 2022 African cup of Nations. There were some controversies amongst the European club Association and the CAF as the European Club Association objected to the release of the African players for the 2022 African cup of Nations, on the basis of the health of the players amidst the Covid19 pandemic. However, the news reaching us this morning from verified sources reveals that the Chelsea Goalkeeper, Edouard Mendy was been called up for the 2022 African Cup of Nations by the Senegalese National team.

This would really be a big blow for Chelsea as they are set to loose their first choice goalkeeper to the Senegalese National team, as a result of the African Cup of Nations. Chelsea has the option of playing Kepa as a replacement for Edouard Mendy as he would leave for the African cup of Nations.
