The Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has made no official comment on the issue, while Liverpool are consulting their lawyers before deciding whether to play him. Matip was called up for the finals despite having not played for the Indomitable Lions since last year's World Cup in Brazil. "Liverpool have subsequently repeatedly sought, as a matter of urgency, clarity from FIFA in this regard," the club said. Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp said he would seek advice from the club's lawyers before using Matip. Of course I have to ask (Liverpool's lawyers) but the decision is for me to make.
