Squad update Nigeria vs Cameroon friendlies : Indomitable Lions call-up replacement for Lille star

Published: May 31, 2021

The Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) have handed a late call-up to Royal Excel Mouscron winger Serge Tabekou ahead of their friendlies against the Super Eagles in Austria, according to various reports in the Cameroonian press.

Actu Cameroon says Lille midfielder Jean Onana, who spent the entirety of the recently concluded season on loan at Royal Excel Mouscron, has pulled out of the squad as a result of injury.

The 21-year-old Onana was not involved in the last two games played by Royal Excel Mouscron in the Belgian First Division A.

Tabekou is on his way to link up with the Indomitable Lions for the training camp which starts on Monday, May 31.

While Onana has two caps for the five-time African champions, Tabekou has five appearances to his name, most recently in the goalless draw versus Rwanda in March.

Cameroon manager Antonio Conceicao has called up twenty-eight players for the two matches against Nigeria, and the roster is headlined by Bayern Munich striker Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting.

Nigeria will take on Cameroon at the Weiner Neustadt Stadium in Austria on Friday June 4, starting from 1930 hours (GMT) and will face the same opponents at the same venue on Tuesday June 8, starting from 1600 hours (GMT).
