Volker Finke, the coach of Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions, made a trip to Barcelona to meet with Alexandre Song, one of his key players, ahead of the 2014 World Cup. The meeting was aimed at evaluating Song’s fitness, as the midfielder has struggled for playing time at FC Barcelona this season and is reportedly on the list of players set to leave the club.
Finke’s concern is understandable given the importance of having his squad fully fit and ready for the World Cup, especially with the tournament just six weeks away. Despite his limited playing time this season, Song remains a crucial part of the Cameroon team, and Finke is likely assessing his readiness to contribute at the highest level in Brazil.
While Song’s future at Barcelona remains uncertain, it seems likely that the experienced midfielder will be included in Cameroon’s squad for the World Cup, barring any unforeseen changes. Finke’s visit to Barcelona shows his commitment to ensuring that his players are in the best possible shape for the upcoming global tournament.
