The group stages of the Africa Cup of Nations ended on Wednesday night, with eight teams advancing to the quarter-finals.

11 Premier League players remain in Gabon, with Senegal and Egypt accounting for seven of those. Eight clubs are still represented in the tournament, with West Ham, Stoke and Hull supplying two players each.
