Bad news for Carlos Kameni and his club Málaga CF. The Cameroonian goalkeeper, who featured in this weekend’s 3-3 draw against La Coruña, has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee and will require surgery. He is expected to be sidelined for at least a month.
During Kameni’s absence, Málaga will rely on Memo Ochoa, the former Ajaccio goalkeeper, to guard the posts. Kameni has been a key figure for the Andalusian club this season, having started in 28 matches across all competitions.
His injury is also a concern for Cameroon, as the Indomitable Lions prepare for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The national team will have to cope without their experienced shot-stopper for upcoming matches, creating a significant gap in the squad.
Kameni’s presence in goal has been vital for Málaga, and the club will hope for a smooth recovery to have their first-choice goalkeeper back in action as soon as possible.
