Former Nigeria and Chelsea star John Obi Mikel has criticised footballers with African roots for choosing to play for European countries.
There are a number of players in Europe with ties to African nations but instead opt to represent a European nation.
France, England, Germany and Spain all have players, who were also eligible to represent an African country.

However, Mikel is not happy with the players who came back to Africa after not getting a call-up from Europe.
"They say they wanna play for England or France or whatever it is, and then they wait. They keep waiting and keep waiting," he said on his podcast.
"When they get to 25 or 26 and they don't get a call up from England, then they call Nigeria.
"We shouldn't be treated like second options, we are not second options.
"If you decide you want to play for England, stick to it. Sit and wait. If you don't get a call-up, you don't get a call-up.
"But don't wait until you're 29 or 30 and then you call the Nigerian FA to tell them you're ready to play for them. F*ck off mate."
