Old faces included in Akono's 26 – man list

Indomitable Lions' coach Jean – Paul Akono has unveiled the list of players chosen to prepare for the return leg  of the qualification match against Cape – Verde. This list is to say the least a cocktail of old faces, new names and youth. While they are expected names like Samuel Eto'o, one is surprised  to see guys like Mohamadou Idrissou, Achille Webo and Pierre Wome who now play off the radar. Is this proof of the saying that a drowning man will in desperation cling to anything, even a crocodile? While we are in no position to question the coach's choi

ces, we can only hope that this potpourri brings home victory. Below is the complete list of  players called up for national duty.
