Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has reportedly been approached by the DR Congo national team over representing them at AFCON between January and February.
Wan-Bissaka has previously represented England at Under-21 level, but he has now been given the opportunity to switch international allegiance, and is considering the offer, according to The Athletic.
It remains to be seen what the 25-year-old will end up deciding, but it could be a blow for Red Devils manager Erik ten Hag, as it would mean losing the player for potentially a month as the tournament runs from January 13th until February 11th.
United have already had so many issues this season because of injuries to key players, so losing Wan-Bissaka for that long is far from ideal.
The former Crystal Palace defender may, however, feel that this is too good an opportunity to turn down as he struggles to work his way into the England fold at senior level.
Wan-Bissaka is surely good enough to play at major tournaments and it will be interesting to see what he decides.
