Senegal and Cameroon Lineups: Starting XIs, Confirmed Team News, Latest on Injuries for Today's AFCON Game

 

Cameroon faces a tough AFCON challenge against Senegal today, and it's an even bigger test as they miss their captain, Vincent Aboubakar.

The Indomitable Lions didn't get off to a great start in the Africa Cup of Nations, drawing with 10-man Guinea, which adds significant pressure as they go into today's match against the reigning champions.

Vincent Aboubakar is sidelined due to a thigh injury he picked up during training. He's eager to return for the final group-stage match for his country. On the brighter side, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana is starting, despite a late arrival and some travel chaos before the Guinea game.

Senegal, on the other hand, had a smoother beginning to their campaign, easily handling The Gambia in their first match. The Lions of Teranga don't seem to have any new injury concerns and haven't made many changes to their lineup. Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson is once again on the bench.

In terms of lineup, Pape Matar Sarr joins the midfield, recovering from a hamstring issue he faced while playing for Tottenham in December. Abdou Diallo partners with Kalidou Koulibaly in defense.

Here are the lineups:

Senegal XI: Mendy, Diatta, Koulibaly, Diallo, Jakobs, Camara, Sarr, Gueye, Sarr, Diallo, Mane

Subs: Dieng, Gomis, Mendy, Seck, Gueye, Mendy, Jackson, Kouyate, Ciss, Ballo-Toure, Ndiaye, Diaw

Cameroon XI: Onana, Castelletto, Wooh, Tchato, Tolo, Neyou, Kemen, Zambo, Nkoudou, Magri, Ngamaleu

Subs: Ondoa, Moukoudi, Toko Ekambi, Ateba, Tchamadeu, Gonzalez, Epassy, Yongwa, Moumbagna, Elliott, Ntcham, Mputu

The match kicks off at 5 pm GMT on Friday, January 19, 2024, at the Charles Konan Banny Stadium in Yamoussoukro.

For those eager to catch the action, the details for the TV channel and live stream are not provided here.
