Cameroon are struggling to find enough players for their Under-17 squad set to appear in upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers because a majority of those called up have failed an age test introduced by Samuel Eto’o.
Head coach Jean Pierre Fiala had named a squad of 30 players only for 21 of them to fail MRI tests that were made mandatory by Eto’o, the former Barcelona and Chelsea striker who is now head of the country’s FA.
That led to Fiala calling up another crop of players - except, according to reports from BBC Africa, 11 of them have subsequently failed the same test. Now Fiala is searching for more alternatives with only seven days to go before they play the first of four games in less than a fortnight.
