Volker Finke, the coach of the Cameroon national football team, plans to announce the list of selected players for the return match against Tunisia on November 17 no later than November 3. For this crucial World Cup qualifying match, Finke is reportedly looking to bring back defender Benoît Assou-Ekotto to the national team.
To convince Assou-Ekotto, Finke has reportedly sent his assistant, Ibrahim Tanko, to England. The Queens Park Rangers defender made his last appearance for the national team on September 8 against Libya, where he was called up but not fielded. Despite expressing his frustration and indicating a desire to retire from the national team under Javier Clemente, the technical staff now sees the need for his contribution. Whether Assou-Ekotto will accept the call-up remains uncertain, and it remains to be seen if Finke can convince the player to return to the national team.
