Seems all is not well within the Indomitable Lions’ squad, as Choupo Moting, who has featured very little in the AFCON has walked away from the bench and taken up a seat in the stands.
Despite a much-changed lineup in the third place match to face the Stallions of Burkina Faso, Eric Maxim Choupo Moting has still not made the first 11.
Former Indomitable Lions captain Choupo-Moting was absent during today’s pre-match warm-up.
Choupo has been frustrated by Antonio Conceicao’s decision to sideline him during the competition especially during the match against Egypt.
He told the coach before the match, he was high-spirited to defend Cameroon against Egypt but Conceicao rebuffed him, giving a false excuse to the press that he was injured. He has now vehemently refused to play against Burkina Faso after he was added to the initial starting lineup against Burkina Faso.
The Bayer Munich player was replaced by Bassogog.
