    Reaction after Lille and Everton drew 0-0 in a Europa League Group H match on Thursday (October 23rd). After the match, Lille goalkeeper Vincent Enyeamasaid that he doesn't want the African Cup of Nationals to go ahead because of the fear of Ebola.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Vincent Enyeama, Lille goalkeeper:

    Q: "Have you been following what is going on with AFCON (African Cup of Nations)? Do you think that AFCON is going to happen?"

    "I really wish it does not happen, with all the situation in the world now, group of people moving, but I am not the one who calls the shot. But I really wish it doesn't happen."

    Q: "Because of Ebola?"

    "Yes, it is risky."

    "Do you think it is dangerous for the players, for the supporters?"

    "It is risky for everyone, because when you go to Africa everyone is hugging you, everyone is hand-shaking you, but I mean, what can you do? You just add risks, so I really wish it does not happen, but I am not CAF (Confederation of African Football), I am not the one who calls the shot. If they say it happens, I will play, if we qualify."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Leighton Baines, Everton defender (on French police firing tear gas at visiting Everton supporters earlier in the day):

    "Yes, we have seen a bit of it on the news, not sure about all the details. But generally, our fans travel everywhere, we have got loads of fans and they travel well. They like to enjoy themselves, and a few of the comments I have seen were just to say that it was a friendly crowd really, that was mixing well, but I don't know all the details of what went down."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Tim Howard, Everton goalkeeper (asked if he was disappointed with the result):
    "I am not disappointed, in fact, quite the opposite, we are at the top of the group, kept a clean sheet, got a draw, with two home games remaining out of the three, we feel very confident."

    Q: "How far do you think you can go in this competition?"

    "I don't know, we just got to get ourselves out of the group first and then we go from there."
