Injury blow for Cameroon as forward Moumi Ngamaleu doubt casts shadow ahead of friendlies

Cameroon faces an anxious wait ahead of the March 2026 international break following an injury scare involving forward Moumi Ngamaleu.

The 31-year-old picked up a knock during Dynamo Moscow’s victory over FK Rostov in the Russian league, dampening what should have been a positive outing for the club. Despite playing a role in the win, Ngamaleu was unable to finish the match untroubled, raising immediate concerns over his fitness.

At this stage, the exact nature and severity of the injury remain unclear. However, the timing could not be worse for both player and country, with doubts now emerging over his availability for Cameroon’s upcoming international engagements.

Head coach David Pagou is set to name his squad on Thursday for the upcoming FIFA window, where the Indomitable Lions will participate in the FIFA Series in Australia. Ngamaleu’s situation now adds an extra layer of uncertainty as the technical team finalizes its plans.

The potential absence of the experienced attacker would be a setback for Cameroon, given his importance in the squad and his ability to influence games in the final third.

With the squad announcement looming, all eyes will be on updates regarding Ngamaleu’s condition, as Cameroon hopes to avoid a key injury blow ahead of a crucial international period.
