Players to watch out for:

Edmond Tapsoba (Burkina Faso) 

The Bayer Leverkusen defender is arguably in the best form of his career. At 26 years old, Edmond is still considered a developing defender, but he possesses an element of maturity in his game. He is very versatile as well, as he can operate as a full back on either wing while being an incredible centre-back.

Mohamed Salah (Egypt)

Mohamed Salah is widely regarded as one of the best right-wingers in the world. His technical brilliance, mixed with his goal scoring, makes him a lethal attacker. He has been impressively consistent since joining Liverpool in 2017, and the fans will definitely expect a similar performance from him.
