Four Cameroon players including attacker Pierre Kunde Malong have tested positive for Covid-19 less than two weeks away from the Africa Cup of Nations. “Pierre Kunde Malong, Jean Efala Konguep, Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui and Christian Bassogog will continue their isolation away from the squad,” he added. The Cameroonian team was the second AFCON squad gutted by COVID-19. Four members of the Ethiopian team, the first to arrive Yaounde, are also affected. Cameroon will open the tournament on January 9 by facing Burkina Faso and also play Cape Verde and Ethiopia in the group stage.
