Crystal Palace's African stars have been in action over the last week in Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Wilfried Zaha (Ivory Coast), Cheikhou Kouyate (Senegal) and Jordan Ayew (Ghana) have all featured so far as we prepare to play the final round of group stage matches this week.
Zaha's tournament began with a start off the bench for Ivory Coast's first game against Equatorial Guinea, which they won 1-0.
The Eagles winger came off the bench for the final 20 minutes of the game, replacing Maxwell Cornet as the Elephants got off to the perfect start in Group E.
Zaha was ready to start the next match against Sierra Leone in a front three alongside Ajax's Sebastien Haller and Arsenal star Nicolas Pepe.
He immediately won a penalty in the 12th minute of the game after being brought down by Umaru Bangura, though AC Milan's Franck Kessie was denied by Moham Nbaile Kamara in the Sierra Leone goal.
The Elephants did take the lead not long after, though, and Zaha was involved once again, playing a brilliant, defence-splitting pass for Haller to run through and open his account for the tournament.
Musa Noah Kamara equalised in the second half only for Pepe to quickly put Ivory Coast back ahead, with Zaha coming off with ten minutes to go before the Sierra Stars dramatically levelled the game again deep into injury time.
The draw means Ivory Coast remain top of Group E on four points, with Equatorial Guinea sitting second on three points following their stunning win over Algeria.
The tournament's defending champions were held to a goalless draw by Sierra Leone in their opening match and could now face a group stage elimination when they take on Zaha and Ivory Coast on Thursday.
Elsewhere, Kouyate has played every minute for Senegal so far as they also sit on the cusp of qualification for the last-16.
The midfielder started his country's opening match of the tournament against Zimbabwe, which they won 1-0 courtesy of a 97th-minute penalty.
Kouyate then played the full 90 minutes in the goalless draw against Guinea last Friday, with the Teranga Lions playing without first-choice goalkeeper Edouard Mendy and centre-back Kalidou Koilibaly due to Covid.
Senegal are currently second in Group B behind Guinea and face Malawi in their final group stage game on Tuesday.
Ghana and Jordan Ayew could be at risk of an early exit from the tournament, meanwhile, after their heated 1-1 draw with Gabon last time out.
The Black Stars lost their opening game to Group C leaders Morocco but got off to a good start against Gabon when took the lead through captain Andrew Ayew after 18 minutes.
Seemingly on course for an important victory, Ghana then conceded a controversial goal with two minutes to go as Gabon failed to return the ball to them following an injury prior to scoring.
Tempers flared soon after and Ghana's Benjamin Tetteh was shown a red card and handed a three-match ban for his part in the on-pitch melee.
He will be unavailable for Ghana's final group stage game against Comoros on Thursday, which the Black Stars will need to win to have any chance of progressing into the knockout stages.
