As the highly-anticipated clash between Cameroon and Nigeria looms, concerns arise over the possible absence of pivotal players, Jean-Charles Castelleto and Georges-Kevin Nkoudou, due to illness.
Reports from www.cameroonactuel.com suggest that both Castelleto and Nkoudou were unable to complete the team’s final training session on Friday, raising doubts about their availability for the upcoming match.
Notably, Nkoudou has showcased his prowess with three assists in three appearances for Cameroon during the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. Meanwhile, Castelleto’s absence would leave a significant void in the team’s defensive line.
In contrast, the Cameroonian camp saw the return of skipper Vincent Aboubacar and Clinton N’Jie to training under the guidance of head coach Rigobert Song, potentially easing concerns about the team’s overall strength.
On the opposing side, Nigeria appears to have a full squad poised for the game, setting the stage for an intriguing encounter, marked by the uncertainty surrounding Cameroon’s key players.
