Cameroon coach Rigobert Song revealed the final 20-man squad that will travel to Sao Tome for Saturday’s African Nations Championship (CHAN ) Kenya 2018 qualifier.
Speaking at the Lewat Hotel on Thursday Song revealed that the current top scorer in MTN Elite One Ligue Francis Elimbi and New Stars defender Aurelien Etame will not be available due to knocks they picked up during Wednesday’s national team training.
The coach expressed confidence that although Sao Tome is a ‘tough side’, Indomitable Lions will come out victorious.
“I believe we will do well in Sao Tome going by the training we have had. It will be a tough match but it is noble that we collect a result that will be beneficial to us as we head into our next game. The morale is high and I believe the boys are ready to the tie.”
