Just like Senegal and Gambia, Cameroon and Guinea are also entering AFCON 2023 in Group C in a match scheduled at the Charles Konan Banny stadium in Yamoussoukro from 5 p.m. GMT.
Among the Cameroonians, remember that Vincent Aboubakar was injured and is uncertain for the first match.
He should therefore not appear in the team which will be called up for the first match of the Indomitable Lions.
On the other hand, Rigobert Song can count on André Onana in goal, even if he only joined his teammates after Manchester United’s match against Tottenham on Sunday.
Castelletto, Christopher Wooh and Arnold Moukoudi are expected in defense, while Zambo Anguissa should also start against Guinea just like Toko Ekambi.
On the Guinea side, Serhou Guirassy is announced forfeit for this first Syli National match.
But if he is present, he will be in Kaba Diawara’s eleven. Otherwise, Morgan Guilavogui, Mohamed Bayo and François Kamano should provide attack. Naby Keita, who has been training with his teammates in recent days, is expected to be in the starting lineup.
The probable compositions of the two teams:
Cameroon:
André Onana – Jean-Charles Castelletto, Christopher Wooh, Arnold Moukoudi, Tolo Nouhou – Olivier Kemen, Zambo Anguissa- Moumi Ngamaleu, Olivier Ntcham, Karl Toko Ekambi- Vincent Aboubakar (or Magri)
Guinea:
Ibrahima Koné – Antoine Conte, Julian Jeanvier, Mouctar Diakhaby, Issiaga Sylla – Pa Konaté, Naby Keita, Camara – Morgan Guilavogui, Mohamed Bayo, François Kamano
