Volker Finke sidelines some players; list still not out

Charles Itandje, Assou Ekotto, Landry Nguemo, Allan Nyom, Achille Webo, Dany Nounkeu and others are not among the shortlisted players for the CAN 2015.

Two weeks before their first match of the qualifying round for the Africa cup of Nations 2015, the indomitable Lions fans do not yet know members of the squad, no information has been given on the preparation of the Lions.

Championships resumed in Europe, but players are still waiting to receive summons, because ambiguity has not yet been thrown on who will be on the sideline of the "fauves" of Central Africa during these playoffs.

"I was in the Cameroonian football Federation; there’s no list. The coach often gives it to Rigobert Song (Lions team manager) and it is often loaded to the Secretary general of the Fecafoot. Therefore, I do not know if the coach gave the list to Rigobert Song, or if he gave it to the Secretary-General”, revealed Raphaël Nkoa, Team press officer of the Lions.

Laurence Fotso, responsible for communication and marketing of the Fecafoot confirmed to us yesterday that the list was not available. "Fecafoot will publish it when they receive it" he said. We will therefore have to wait, no offense to those who think it is necessary that things are quickly made, given that the Lions play against opponents who have already started their preparation.

At the Ministry of Sports and Physical Education, a near head of the administrative framework of national football teams - which takes the list - confirmed to us that Volker Finke drew up the list of those who, according to him, will qualify Cameroon for the CAN Morocco 2015.

Volker Finke has also decided to no longer work with Itandje, Assou Ekotto, Landry Nguemo, Allan Nyom, Achille Webo, Dany Nounkeu, and Loïc Feudjou, the goalkeeper of coton sport Garoua.

The name of Alexandre Song does not appear on this list. But, beyond the fact that the nephew of Team manager is excluded by Fifa for its barbaric act on Croatian Mario Mandzukic June 18 in Manaus (Brazil), he said that the German no longer wishes to have him in his squad.
