Six L1 players called up for the Asian Cup

Like the African Cup of Nations, the Asian Cup is on the program this winter, from January 12 to February 10.

Compared to the CAN, the impact is less for L1 clubs, who will deplore six departures in total over the period.

Reims will still have to do without two choice offensive elements, with the Japanese Junya Ito and Keito Nakamura whose selection was confirmed today.

Another Japanese international called up, Monaco striker Takumi Minamino. The South Korean from PSG Kang-in Lee, the Jordanian from Montpellier Musa Al-Tamari and the Uzbek from Lens Abdukodir Khusanov completing this Asian contingent.
