Cameroon captain Vincent Aboubakar will miss his team’s opening group game at the Africa Cup of Nations against Guinea due to injury, the team’s coaching staff told AFP on Saturday. ;
The Besiktas striker pulled out of a training session on Friday with a left thigh issue, but tests carried out revealed only a “minor injury”, the Cameroon team doctor said in a statement.
It was initially feared the problem could rule the 31-year-old Aboubakar out of the tournament.
Cameroon face Guinea on Monday before a heavyweight clash with defending champions Senegal on January 19. They face Gambia four days later in their final Group C match. ;
Aboubakar, who scored the winning goal in a 2-1 victory over Egypt in the 2017 final, has not played since December 9 after being dropped from the first-team squad at Besiktas.
