Attack : Fears Heighten

If there is one name that Cameroonians are sure to be at the 2023 AFCON to be staged next year in Côte d’Ivoire, it is team captain, Vincent Aboubakar. Nonetheless, his current inactivity at club speaks no good. It should be said that he was excluded from the A team of Turkish side Besiktas alongside four others for “poor performances and incompatibilities with the team." This decision came at a time when he is top scorer of the club making it difficult to reconcile the facts. His capabilities for the national team are therefore not doubted especially looking at his rich career.
Though called up in the 54 shortlist of players, there is uncertainty over Bryan Mbeumo being at the AFCON. His club reported recently that the Brentford forward will be side-lined for three months following an operation on his ankle”. “Mbeumo will not participate in the Africa Cup of Nations,” head coach Thomas Frank confirmed. Bryan Mbeumo had imposed himself as one of the sure picks of Head Coach Rigobert Song in the attack.
Away from all doubts, a sure candidate in the attack could be Georges-Kevin Nkoudou. The striker came to the limelight when he scored the second goal for the Lions against Mauritius. He then went back to his Saudi Arabian club Damac to be an unstoppable goal machine, netting doubles and hat tricks. In the Saudi Pro league, he has scored 14 goals in 16 matches this season.
