When do Kolo and Ade leave for ANC?

I know the tournament starts on 10th Jan but am assuming the teams will gather together for a week beforehand, if not more meaning we'll miss them for the derbies. Does anyone know when they actually will stop playing for city and how many games they'll miss?

Ideally the international teams want them just after Xmas. However, this is usually because the other leagues have a winter break. I would think the two of them wil make the fa cup game but will be hard pushed for the semi final 1st leg.

If they don't qualify from the Groups stage then we'll get them back early but I don't wish that on them of course.
We have a ready replacement for Kolo in Ned or Komp but its Ade's position that I'm worried about. RSC will get the
chance to prove himself during Ade's absence (here is hoping).
