Luton Boss "Proud" Of Muskwe But Says AFCON Timing Not "Ideal"

Luton manager Nathan Jones said the timing of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) isn’t ideal as players could miss up to seven club games while at the tournament.

Jones made the remarks after forward Admiral Muskwe flew out to Cameroon in the week to join up with The Warriors for the tournament that starts tomorrow. Said Jones:

We’re very proud of Ade, when he signed, we knew that he had a proud Zimbabwean heritage.

Muskwe (23), was born in Harare before moving to the United Kingdom at the tender age of three.

He is set to miss the Hatters’ FA Cup third-round clash against Harrogate Town tomorrow, plus Championship encounters with AFC Bournemouth, Reading and more than likely Sheffield United too.

If the Warriors reach the knockout stages, Muskwe could also be away when Town host Bristol City.
