Guinea have included Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita in their extended 27-man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next month as they became the first team to name their final selection on Tuesday.

Keita is likely to be the first of three players from the title-chasing Anfield club to be selected for the January 9-February 6 competition along with Egyptian forward Mo Salah and Senegal striker Sadio Mane.

Keita is likely to come up against Mane, with Guinea drawn in Group B at the finals alongside Senegal, Zimbabwe and Malawi. They will be heavily fancied to make the second round. But Confederation of African Football president Patrice Motsepe has said he expects the finals to go ahead as planned.Defenders: Saidou Sow , Ibrahima Conte , Florentin Pogba , Ousmane Kante , Mohamed Aly Camara , Pa Konate , Issiaga Sylla , Antoine Conte , Mikael Dyrestam
