Hi. Can we make a list of all the L1 players that will be representing their countries in the ACN? Ideally if the list were made based on each club, that'd be great. Thanks in advance.
A bit early since no official squad list have been released for the ACN yet but looking at the top contenders this is what I expect from them: PSG Siaka Tiéné (CIV) Montpellier HSC Younès Belhanda (MOR) Abdelhamid El Kaoutari (MOR) Jamel Saihi (TUN) Lille OSC Moussa Sow (SEN) Lyon Lamine Gassama (SEN) Bakary Koné (BKF) John Mensah (GHA) Marseille Andre Ayew (GHA) Jordan Ayew (GHA) Charles Kabore (BKF) Souleymane Diawara (SEN)

Almost all of the squads are known now except maybe Niger and Libya-- whose we shouldn't be concerned. I'm waiting for the competition to begin now. My favourites are Ghana, Senegal, Ivory Coast and Morocco, and Mali should be a strong side too.
Two french based player called up to the Niger squad, Olivier Bonnes from Lille's reserve team and Sullivan Mazadou from US Marignane in the CFA. Moussa Maazou of Ballon de Plomb fame is of course also there leading the line.
Evian Saber Khelifa (TUN) Jonathan Mensah (GHA) Lille Moussa Sow (SEN) Lorient Bruno Ecuele Manga (GBN) Lyon Bakary Koné (BKF) John Mensah (GHA) Sidy Koné (MAL) Marseille Souleymane Diawara (SEN) Charles Kaboré (BKF) Andre Ayew (GHA) Jordan Ayew (GHA)
