Escalating violence in Cameroon will threaten the safety of Premier League stars when the Africa Cup of Nations begins next month, human rights activists have warned.
The African showcase includes 24 teams from across the continent and is set to open on January 9, but there are now calls for it to be postponed because of the conflict.
The competition is likely to feature more than 40 players from the English top flight, including Thomas Partey, Nicolas Pepe and Mohamed Elneny, from Arsenal; Trezeguet from Aston Villa; Chelsea's Edouard Mendy; Crystal Palace's Wilfried Zaha; Manchester City's Riyad Mahrez and the Liverpool trio of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane, Naby Keita.
