Cameroon’s journey to the 2026 FIFA World Cup faces significant challenges after two key players suffered injuries during pre-match preparations. Midfielder André-Frank Zambo Anguissa and striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting sustained injuries during training sessions in Morocco, casting doubt on their availability for the crucial playoff match.
The Indomitable Lions are scheduled to face DR Congo in today’s World Cup playoff semi-final. A victory would advance them to Sunday’s final against the winner between Gabon and Nigeria. Medical assessments are underway for both injured players.
Reports indicate Anguissa suffered a muscular injury during an intense training drill. Choupo-Moting also picked up an injury on the same day. Their participation remains uncertain pending further evaluation.

Despite these setbacks, team captain Vincent Aboubakar and forward Bryan Mbeumo are expected to lead Cameroon’s attack. Football enthusiasts and analysts await updates from the medical team. The match represents a critical step in Cameroon’s World Cup qualification campaign.
