For those who don't know, the teams involved are: Gabon (hosts), Morocco, Algeria, Cameroon, Senegal, Egypt, Ghana, Guinea-Bissau, Zimbabwe, Mali, Ivory Coast, Uganda, Burkina Faso, Tunisia, DR Congo and Togo. I agree with Mark regarding the main player we would miss is Amrabat.
We would lose Guedioura as well, although personally I think Watson should be ahead of him in the pecking order anyway.
