Controversy over cancelation of Leicester game at Everton due to African Stars playing at Afcon.


 Kelechi Iheanacho (R) and Wilfred Ndidi (L)


When Leicester applied to postpone tonight’s match at Everton , they gave reasons like, injuries , covid infections and unavailability of African stars due to Afcon.

Stars like :

Kelechi Iheanacho from Nigeria, Wilfred Ndidi Also from Nigeria and Daniel Amartey, a Ghanaian .

Ralph Hasenhuth a manager at Southampton questions the legitimacy of the postponement , there has been unexpected alteration of nationality, in the past, cases like Micheli Anthonia of south London who signed into Westham in 2015 but later decided to become a Jamaican in 2021,there was a similar case when Wilfred Zaha of crystal palace, declared his intention to play for ivory coast, his place of birth.

In both cases one can argue that, their clubs were taken unaware, and were not expecting that such decision would be taken, the same can not be said about Leicester, there are arguments that such occurrence could  have been avoided . What impact would cases like this have in the future?
