“We’re not going to have those two (Partey and Tomiyasu), then we have the suspension of Kai [Havertz], so I think we’re gonna have five out, but we have lots of other players willing to play.” the Spaniard said.
The African Cup of Nations kicks off at January 8 and it is unknown whether the Ghanian, who is expected to feature there, will be able to return in time.
