For the first time this is going to impact on us I believe with Lyle Foster being there. Have I missed something is there any reason why we can't have our winter break to coincide with the AFCON.
Also why can’t they organise one of the European international breaks around it as well. I understand they can’t do it for say a world cup international break.

Re: AFCON
The 34th edition of Afcon takes place from 13 January until 11 February 2024. According to the BBC.
Games in that period
13th January we play Luton
31st January we play Man City
3rd February we play Fulham
10th February we play Liverpool
Hopefully in there could be a FA cup fixture weekend of the 20th January

Re: AFCON
A real shame. Wanting Foster to play well but not too well, get him back earlyYorkshirelad wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 9:45 amThe 34th edition of Afcon takes place from 13 January until 11 February 2024. According to the BBC.

I'm also worried about losing Zaroury to AFCON. Not sure we'll have enough with only 8 wingers during that period

The FA Cup 4th round is weekend of 27th January. Weekend of 20th is part of the ‘winter break’.Yorkshirelad wrote: ↑Wed Oct 04, 2023 9:45 amThe 34th edition of Afcon takes place from 13 January until 11 February 2024. According to the BBC.

If South Africa get knocked out in the group stages then (in theory) Foster will only miss the Luton match, although I can’t imagine him being back and ready for City away potentially just a few days after SA’s last group game. Could easily be ready for Fulham though.
