Bayern Munich’s forward, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, was notably left out of Cameroon’s Africa Cup of Nations squad, revealed by head coach Rigobert Song. Song opted to include other overseas talents like Manchester United’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, and Besiktas’ striker, Vincent Aboubakar.
Despite his crucial role in Cameroon’s previous title victories in 2000 and 2002, the 47-year-old coach made the daring decision to exclude Choupo-Moting.
Song’s squad mainly comprises players from abroad, with only two players, forward Leonel Ateba and midfielder Wilfried Nathan Douala, representing Cameroon-based clubs.
The coach aims to secure the championship title, which The Indomitable Lions last claimed in 2017; in the prior edition, they finished third as hosts. The tournament is scheduled to take place from January 13 to February 11 in the Ivory Coast.
