Cote D'voire defender Eric Bailly could miss 2017 AFCON after suffering 'bad knee injury'

  Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly could miss the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations after he suffered a 'bad knee injury' during Manchester United 4-0 drubbing at Chelsea on Sunday.

The 22-year-old Ivorian picked up the problem when he tangled with Chelsea's Eden Hazard and was substituted in the 52nd minute as a consequence.

It's unclear the extent of damage, but manager Jose Mourinho revealed it could be serious to cast doubt about his involvement ahead of the Nations Cup in Gabon next year.

Bailly had played every minute in the league for United coming into the game.

The defender signed from Spanish side Villarreal for about £30m in the summer.
