Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Luton manager Nathan Jones said the timing of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) isn\u2019t ideal as players could miss up to seven club games while at the tournament.<\/p>\n

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:<\/p>\n

We\u2019re very proud of Ade, when he signed, we knew that he had a proud Zimbabwean heritage.<\/p>\n

His father works there and I had a big conversation with his dad prior to him signing, as, with the greatest respect, a lot of African families, their dad\u2019s a big influence.<\/p>\n

So we know that his dad is very proud, and we just hope that he does really well, comes back injury-free.<\/p>\n

A lot gets mixed up and misconstrued, and it\u2019s probably the least ideal time to have a tournament, but that\u2019s not to say we\u2019re not proud of the internationals.<\/p>\n

But when you go and potentially, they could miss five, six, seven games, that\u2019s a hindrance and that\u2019s why managers sometimes speak out against it.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure most managers are proud of their players when they\u2019re internationals, we are here.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just the timing of the tournament isn\u2019t ideal if you are a Premier League or Championship manager, because you can potentially lose some of your best players and at a time when fixtures are coming thick and<\/p>\n

Muskwe (23), was born in Harare before moving to the United Kingdom at the tender age of three.<\/p>\n

He is set to miss the Hatters\u2019 FA Cup third-round clash against Harrogate Town tomorrow, plus Championship encounters with AFC Bournemouth, Reading and more than likely Sheffield United too.<\/p>\n

If the Warriors reach the knockout stages, Muskwe could also be away when Town host Bristol City.<\/p>\n
