Due to survival in the English Premier League, the "Watford" team has decided not to release their attacking leader Emmanuel Dennis to the African Cup of Nations tournament. The Nigerian Football Federation released a statement stating that the forward will not be attending the African Cup of Nations tournament due to obstacles created by the club. It turned out that the Nigerian Football Federation did not inform "Watford" in time about E. Dennis' call-up to the national team, so the club could decide whether to release the player or not. "Watford" is currently not commenting publicly on this situation. This season, the Nigerian scored eight goals in 16 matches in the Premier League.
