The Africa Cup of Nations is hanging in the balance today - with organisers adamant the tournament will still take place despite widespread reports that it may have to be scrapped with the Omicron coronavirus variant spreading rapidly.
It was claimed by RMC Sport in France that the Central African Federation (CAF) may have been forced to can the showpiece, which will be held in Cameroon and is due to start on January 9 and run until February 6.
But the organisers are adamant that the AFCON will take place, with just weeks left until the first game - meaning that a host of Premier League players, including Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, are set to leave their clubs mid-season.
