Falcao at 90 is ridiculous... he is not even better than aging players like Drogba, Ibrahimovic or Eto'o.

42' Chidi Dauda Omeje (Dalkurd) (1:0)

Italiano1: Neither is Frimpong of Arsenal, he is British of Ghanian descent.

Slight difference: both parents are Ghanaian and Frimpong was born in Ghana.

nijanigga: Most of them are just team members and fringe players,not CL level yet. Like Serge Gnabry (Cote d'Ivoire), Daniel Boateng, Emmanuel Frimpong (both Ghana) are far from featuring for Arsenal in CL,may be year(s) to come.

Actually btoh Frimpong and Serge Gnabry already featured several times in the Champions League and Emmanuel Frimpong looks set to get even more playing time this season. Nonetheless I agree that for the moment they are pretty fringe players, although Wenger seems to have great faith in Gnabry.

And most?
By my count about 40 of the players are in the first team. That said most African players in Pot I are fringe players (accept for Samuel Eto'o and possibly Mikel).

vladimiros: SERGE GNABRY IS GERMAN NOT AFRICAN

There are several players with duo nationality (like Daniel Boateng, Kevin Osei and so on). Serge Gnabry also has an Ivorian passport. Until he is 'booked' by one national team I chose to treat them as dual nationality. When asked in an interview Gnabry didn't exclude the possibility of playing for Ivory Coast.

Mbaye Niang will probably leave this list sooner than later, as he seemingly hasn't accepted the call up by Senegal.

As to the mistakes - thanks for pointing them out. I was using the official lists which were on UEFA's webpage, so AC Milan still probably had last years list. I will wait until next week and correct them then.

Funnily enough the list on UEFA's website still has Kevin Prince Boateng, but has already included Kaka... (and Mesbah mysteriously dissapeared, while others still feature).
