The 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) is set to take place from January 9 to February 6, 2023, in Ivory Coast. This means several Premier League clubs will lose some key players for up to six weeks, depending on how far their national teams progress in the tournament.

Some of these players are crucial for their clubs, such as Mohamed Salah for Liverpool, Thomas Partey for Arsenal, Yves Bissouma for Brighton, and Maxwel Cornet for Burnley. Their absence could significantly impact the Premier League table, especially in the race for the top four and the relegation battle.
The AFCON will also affect the FA Cup fourth round, which is scheduled for January 13-11 February 2023. Some clubs may have to field weakened teams or rely on their academy players to fill the gaps.
The Premier League clubs will hope that their players return from the AFCON without any injuries or fatigue and that they can quickly adapt to the different climate and time zones. The AFCON will be a test of the depth and quality of the Premier League squads, as well as an opportunity for some players to showcase their talents on the continental stage.
