Cameroon XI vs Gambia: Confirmed team news, starting lineup, injury and Covid latest for AFCON tie today

Gambia are next up in Cameroon’s quest to win the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.

The hosts can book a spot in the semi-finals of the competition on Saturday with a victory in Douala, but in their way stand another of Africa’s minnows who have starred this month thanks to their no-fear approach.

Coach Antonio Conceicao should have a fully-fit squad to pick from after his stars came through the last-16 unscathed.

That will mean Andre Onana starting in goal and Jean-Charles Castelletto partnering captain Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui in the centre of defence. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting should start up front alongside AFCON top scorer Vincent Aboubakar in a 4-4-2 system.

Gambia, meanwhile, have doubts over defender Noah Sonko Sundberg while Yusupha Njie is banned after his red card in the last-16 win over Guinea.

Cameroon starting XI: Onana; Tolo, Onguéné, Ngadeu, Fai; Gouet, Kunde; Choupo-Moting, Moumi, Toko Ekambi; Aboubakar
