Cameroon XI vs Comoros: Confirmed lineup, team news, injury and Covid latest for AFCON last-16 tie

Jonathan Gorrie24 January 2022

Cameroon will be expected to brush aside Covid-stricken minnows Comoros in the last-16 at the Africa Cup of Nations tonight.

While the 33rd edition of the AFCON has so far taught us to expect the unexpected, the idea of the Indomitable Lions being tamed on home soil by a Comoros side missing all of their goalkeepers would surely be the biggest upset in tournament history.

Early exits for both Algeria and Ghana might serve as warnings and while there were signs of some defensive frailty against Cape Verde, hosts Cameroon just look too strong to have any concerns here.

Captain Vincent Aboubakar is obviously the standout name with five goals to his name already at the competition, but Karl Toko Ekambi and Andre Zambo Anguissa are other hugely important pillars of the team.

Cameroon XI: Onana; Fai, Ngadeu, Castelletto, Nouhou; Honglo, Zambo Anguissa; Choupo-Moting, Toko Ekambi, Ngamaleu; Aboubakar.

Date and time: 7pm GMT, Monday January 24, 2022
