It’s another weekend of football as European leagues resume hostilities this weekend and as usual, a couple of African soccer stars will be involved for their different clubsides.

From the English Premier League to the German Bundesliga, Spanish La Liga, Italian Serie A, the French Ligue 1 and several leagues across Europe, African players have been doing tremendous things for their clubs.

This weekend, as usual, Africannewswatch takes a look at some of the continent’s talents who are expected to feature for their clubs around the world.

Mohamed Salah – Liverpool

Mohamed Salah and his Liverpool mates were at the receiving end of a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Manchester United on Monday night at Old Trafford, but against a Bournemouth team still trying to find their rhythm, the Reds are expected to come our victorious.

Salah got the consolation goal against Man U bringing his total to two goals so far and is poised to continue in that vein as Bournemouth comes calling and could find more joy as their opponents have shipped seven goals in their last two matches against Arsenal and Manchester City.

Liverpool are winless in three matches and Jurgen Klopp’s men are poised to correct that on Saturday afternoon to keep tabs on the early frontrunners.

Thomas Partey – Arsenal

After an injury plagued 2021/2022 EPL season, Ghanian midfielder, Thomas Partey has gradually come into the element that made Arsenal fork out the cash to sign him from Athletico Madrid.

Partey is now the first name on the Gunners team sheet and barring any unforeseen circumstances, will also take to the pitch when Fulham come calling at the Emirate Stadium for Saturday’s London derby.

Partey has been an integral part of the Arsenal team and has been instrumental for the North Londoners perfect start to the season as Mikel Arteta’s team remains the only side with a perfect record after winning their first three matches.

Joe Aribo – Southampton

Nigerian midfield grafter, Joe Aribo, has played himself into the Southampton reckoning as he helped the Saints to their first three points with victory at Leicester City last weekend.

He should be in line to play a part when Manchester United come calling though it is left to be seen if that part will be from the start or coming off the bench.

Erik ten Hag’s men who are still basking in the euphoria of their first win over Liverpool on Monday will be in a buoyant mood but will Aribo and co cut them to size?

The Saints have proved to be a boggie team for the Red Devils in the past and that could continue on Saturday.

Edouard Mendy – Chelsea

Senegal Afcon winner, Edouard Mendy, had an embarrassing moment to forget in Chelsea’s 3-0 defear at the hands of Leeds United at Elland Road when he practically handed the first goal to Leeds on a platter of gold.

But Mendy is still Thomas Tuchel’s number one and is expected to be in the starting line up for the visit of out of sorts Leicester City at the Stamford Bridge.

And as expected, he should be able to redeem his image with a response worthy of one of the best shot stoppers in Africa.

Chelsea may have endured a mixed bag since the resumption of the new season but with the trust of the manager, Mendy should be able to prove his doubters wrong with a positive result.

Sadio Mane – Bayern Munich

While Liverpool is struggling to make an early impact in the EPL, Senegal forward Sadio Mané who left them for Bayern Munich in the transfer window, is thriving in the German Bundesliga.

Last time out, he was in rampant mood as he bagged a brace in Bayern’s 7-0 thumping of FC Bochum to take his goals tally to three in rural three weeks old season.

The Senegal star should be in the line up when the Bavarians welcome Borussia Monchengladbach in gameweek four on Saturday and is expected to lead the line.

Achraf Hakimi – PSG

Moroccan wingback, Achraf Hakimi, has been one the few African shining lights in the French Ligue 1 as he has been in impressive form for Paris Saint-Germain so far in the season.

The Morocco international was on song last time out when PSG annihilated Lillw 7-1 and is poised to once again, be an integral part of the team and Sunday for the visit of Monaco.

Wilfred Ndidi – Leicester City

After recovering from a long term injury, Nigerian defensive midfielder, Wilfred Ndidi is in line to make the starting line up when Leicester City visit the Stamford Bridge to try to reverse its winless start to the season.

Ndidi’s team mates, Kelechi Iheanacho and Zambian striker Patson Daka, should be on the bench as usual and could play cameo roles as Brendan Rodgers hopes to change the fortunes of his floundering squad.

Victor Osimhen – Napoli

Nigeria’s Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, has had a productive session so far in the Italian Serie A with two goals so far.

With Luciano Spalletti’s men travelling to Fiorentina in gameweek three, Napoli is looking to make it three wins in three with a third straight win.

Osimhen is unarguably one of the hottest strikers in Italy at the moment as is likely to get the nod to lead the line for the Partenopei’s.
