Am I right in assuming we will lose Bolasie, Soure and Sako in January for the African Nations?

Our priority has to be substantial cover. While Sako isn't a first choice he provides cover to Zaha, Punch and Yala so if either Wilf or Punch are injured we will be lacking, severely.

Losing Bolasie and our dip in form was no coincidence this year and we're begging to fall foul if we don't get back up in well in advance of January to gel with the squad.

I have a horrible vision of panic buying in the January window.

I just hope Mali get to the final.
