Kelechi Iheanacho of Leicester City who was part of the provisional squad for the tournament was dropped after struggling with form and game time in the Premier League.
The other player who has been dropped is Semi Ajayi of English club Rotherham United.
Below are the faces of the 23-man squad that are already on their way to Egypt for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations
Likewise, Semi Ajayi who plays for English club Rotherham United was also reported to have been dropped by Gernot Rohr who was not impressed with his game.
At the just concluded Premier League season, Kelechi Iheanacho struggled for form and was left on the bench for most games for his club. He got a chance to face Manchester City in week 37 of the Premier League season and saw a good chance to score against Pep Guardiola's men which could have ended their title hope.
The rest of the squad will travel for the tournament which kicks on June 21, in Egypt.
