November 29 – Bayer Leverkusen president Fernando Carro says he wants a debate about holding the African Cup of Nations in the middle of the European season.
Ivory Coast will organise the final phase from January 13 to February 11, meaning a spate of European-based African stars will have to be released by their clubs.
Leverkusen could be without five key players during the competition and are actually contemplating preventing them from participating.
