dazzapat 83 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 I thought they didnt have to report for international duty till Jan? This is a little early for a tourney that doesnt begin until the middle of Jan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 The national team can call up their players two weeks before the start of any recognized tournament as is the African Nations Cup. As for Bougherra saying he will definitely be playing against Celtic, well, in all honesty if he is called up and refuses to go then FIFA can prevent him from playing for us, if the club do play him after he's been called up then we can be done for it, and if it's any game we win we would probably be awarded a defeat and the opposing team given an automatic win.
