Are our opponents affected by Africa Cup of Nations in January?

Graphic from The Sun

The 2017 Africa Cup of Nations is to be held in Gabon between 14 January – 5 February 2017. We will not be losing any players and our fixtures including preparation and recovery time for players may not make a significant difference to our opposition either.
