AFCON 2025: Amad Diallo, an absence that will weigh on his club

Amad Diallo is among the Manchester United players set to participate in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations. The Ivorian winger, who has been heavily relied upon since the start of the season, will soon have to join up with the Ivory Coast squad to prepare for the tournament.

True, FIFA has allowed clubs to keep their players for an extra week. This means Amad can stay at Manchester United until December 15, allowing him to play in a few crucial matches before his departure. But once he joins the Elephants, United will have to cope without him for several fixtures.

Depending on Ivory Coast's progress in the tournament, Amad could miss key matches such as Aston Villa (December 21), Newcastle (December 26) and Wolves (December 30). Amad is set for a hectic month: aiming to finish strong with United... before carrying his nation's hopes at AFCON.
