Over 25 players in the German Bundesliga are due to receive a call-up from their respective national teams for the AFCON 2023 showdown in Ivory Coast between 13th January and 11th February.
League leaders Bayer Leverkusen will lose 5 players as Boniface, Adli, Tella, Tapsoba and Kossonou will likely get call-ups as Bayer Leverkusen will be the biggest losers.
Bayern Munchen will lose three players with Mazraoui being only the regular player the Bavaria giants will lose to the CAN even though Chupo Moting and Bounar Sarr are regulars for Cameroon and Senegal respectively.
Some of the teams are lucky as Borussia Monchengladbach, Heidenheim, Freiburg and Wolfsburg will not lose any player to the AFCON.
