Make sure you keep an eye on the African Cup of Nations 2017, which starts tomorrow and is hosted by Gabon. There are plenty of top players involved, so make sure to check up on the progress of the Tournament - some UEFA Champions League stars are on international and will not return to their Club until they finish.

The Final is on February 5th, only one week before the Champions League is back!

One of the player is also Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Gabon), BVB will surely be hoping he returns as soon as possible, especially since he is in red hot form this season, scoring 16 goals in the Bundesliga and 4 in the UCL this season.
