Captain Vincent Aboubakar’s injury casts shadow over Cameroon’s AFCON 2023 campaign
A devastating piece of news has just emerged for Cameroon and its captain, Vincent Aboubakar, currently in Côte d’Ivoire for the 2023 AFCON. The striker reportedly suffered a serious injury during a recent training session, putting his participation in the tournament in jeopardy.
Cameroon, placed in Group C, the toughest in the competition featuring the defending champions Senegal, as well as Guinea Conakry and Gambia, is aiming for a 6th victory in the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Rigobert Song, the coach of the Indomitable Lions, now faces the challenge of maintaining team cohesion without one of its key players.
According to information revealed by CFoot, Vincent Aboubakar had to cut short his training session due to a severe injury.
Initial assessments suggest that the injury could rule him out of the AFCON 2023, as reported by Cameroonian media.
An official statement from Fecafoot is awaited to confirm this unfortunate development.
Regardless, this news is likely to dampen the spirits of the team based in Yamoussoukro, testing their resilience for the upcoming challenging mission.
