Gueye, Bolasie to miss hectic part of Everton schedule via Royal Blue Mersey

Teams qualified for African Cup of Nations in January & February

The qualification schedule for the African Cup of Nations 2017 tournament concluded this last weekend with a couple of Everton players in action. New signings Idrissa Gueye and Yannick Bolassie both participated in wins that saw their respective nations qualify for the tournament to be held in Gabon between January and February next year.

Senegal swept all before them as they ended up with six wins in six games with Gueye in the squad. Oumar Niasse is also a Senegal international but is unlikely to make the tournament squad with no game time.

Bolasie and the Democratic Republic of Congo also made it into the competition with a win over the weekend, the winger picking up an assist in the only goal of the game.

Ivory Coast have also qualified for the tourney, but forward Arouna Kone is also not expected to travel unless he hits a rich vein of form between now and the winter break.

The tournament will be held between 14th January and 5th February 2017, and if the players would report to camp two weeks before the opener, Everton will be missing them at what could be a crucial time of the season.

Oumar Niasse yet to be assigned a squad number via Royal Blue Mersey

Player continues to be in limbo

Out-of-favour striker Oumar Niasse is part of the 25-player squad list that Everton submitted to the Premier League last week, but is yet to be assigned a number.

After he was not given a squad number at the beginning of the season, there was speculation that the player would be shifted out by the end of the summer transfer window, but a loan move to Russia fell through on deadline day. There was some chatter of other Premier League clubs being interested too, but nothing materialized from that.

Manager Ronald Koeman has been quite harsh about the striker’s prospects at Everton, saying that he basically was not good enough to cut it in the Premier League, and also that he was able to make a very quick decision on the Senegalese player.

Senegal have qualified for the African Cup of Nations to be held in January and February of 2017, but Niasse is very unlikely to join fellow Everton teammate Idrissa Gana Gueye at the competition especially if he is unable to crack the Blues’ lineup. Niasse has three goals in eight caps for the national team.
