Starting today, the adventure in the Africa Cup of Nations officially begins for all the footballers called up by their respective national teams. From the Italian league, for example, there are 21 registered players who, over the next few weeks, will be protagonists in the tournament on the African continent, which this year sees Morocco as the host country for the entire competition.
In the last 48 hours, at the end of what was the fifteenth matchday of Serie A, all the players from the Italian league had to respond to the call-ups from their national teams. For this reason, two starters from Atalanta will not be available for the 17th round of the league, which will see Inter away in Bergamo on December 28th.
While Cristian Chivu‘s team will not lose any players, as they do not have any African players in their squad, Raffaele Palladino‘s team will have to do without both Kossounou—who is with Ivory Coast—and the Nigerian Lookman for the upcoming matches. The latter, in fact, almost joined Inter last summer after a long transfer saga.
