The Indomitable Lions of Cameroon are in a low state as they try to prepare towards AFCON in Gabon.
Seven players on their 35-man provisional squad including Prominent Joel Matip and Allan Nyom opted out.
Cameroon coach Hugo Bros raised the alarm over the availability of the country’s top stars for Gabon 2017.
Liverpool defender Matip, Nyom from West
Bromwich Albion, Ajax Amsterdam goalkeeper Andre Onana, Guy Roland Ndy
Assembe of Nancy and Andre Zambo Anguissa from Olympique Marseille have
withdrawn from the four-time African champions’ squad to Gabon 2017.
Others who have opted out are Maxime Poundje of Bordeaux and Ibrahim Amadou from Lille.
Matip has insisted on continuing his
self-imposed exile from international football after his bad experience
with the previous Indomitable Lions coaches, while Onana, Assembe and
Nyom have put club before country so as to maintain first-team places at
their various clubs.
Poundje has opted to try his luck with
France instead of Cameroon.
What could be responsible?
