Cameroon will be one squad man short for their Africa Cup of Nations opener. Joël Tagueu was ruled out of the tournament with a heart defect on Monday. And while that’s a blow for his personal ambitions, it shouldn’t impact the team’s cup aspirations.
In the absence of the Porto forward, Cameroon will look to regular La Liga scorer Karl Toko Ekambi from Villarreal for goals as they pursue back-to-back titles.
At the back, the Lions will be in safe hands as goalkeeper Andre Onana was part of the Ajax team that stunned Real Madrid and Juventus in the Champions League last season.
A Guinea-Bissau side coached by local Baciro Cande and captained by Slovakia-based midfielder Zezinho lost a warm-up game against Angola 2-0 in Portugal and then slipped under the radar.
