Footballers heading to next month's Africa Cup of Nations finals will be allowed to play for their clubs until January the 3rd, the Confederation of African Football [CAF] have confirmed. Many were set to miss matches because of the rule that dictates clubs must release players 14 days before a continental championship or the World Cup. However the CAF has agreed to allow players to play for their clubs between December the 27th and January the 3rd before joining up with their national squads for the Cup of Nations finals, which kick-off in Cameroon on January the 9th 2022.

Although recent injuries have steered Hammers towards acquiring a centre back and a left back, there is still the matter of bringing in a striker to play alongside or even compete with Mikey Antonio. The list is endless of players 'associated' with a potential move to East London, most of the 'noises' emanating from media outlets are 'agent driven' and should be taken with a rather large grain of salt for the scratched record they are!

If you are planning on heading out to Hertfordshire to see the Watford v West Ham fixture scheduled for 3PM this afternoon, we highly recommend you keep your eyes and ears open for updates regarding the match, either on the O/S, here or any radio outlet, including Talkshite.
