Stéphane Mbia faced an early setback during Friday’s training session at the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium in Yaoundé. The Seville midfielder had to cut short his participation in the Indomitable Lions session, experiencing discomfort after just the initial warm-ups. The nature and duration of Mbia’s potential absence remain undisclosed, as neither the player nor the management has provided information regarding the injury. The looming question is whether he will be available for tomorrow’s match against Tunisia.
It’s worth noting that Mbia did not start in the first leg, which ended in a goalless draw. Considering this, Coach Volker Finke may have fewer concerns about his absence.
Recalling the lineup from the first leg (0-0) in Radès:
Tunisia: Ben Cherifia, Derbali, Mikari, Yahia, Ben Youssef, Ragued, Ben Yahia, Chikhaoui, Khelifa, Allagui, Chermiti
Cameroon: Itandje – Nyom, Chedjou, N’Koulou, Nounkeu – Matip, Eyong Enoh, Makoun, Song – Webó, Eto’o
