Liverpool defender Joel Matip WON’T be going to the Africa Cup of Nations in January 2017.
The Cameroon centre-back, who joined the Reds in the summer, had a recent fall out with his international manager Hugo Broos.
However, Matip is glad that he can stay on Merseyside.
The 25-year-old has worked his way into Jurgen Klopp’s first team and wants to keep his starting spot at Anfield.
