Zapping Our Mondial CAN 2021: The strengths and weaknesses of Cameroon as seen by Richard Naha for Onze Mondial
It’s a surprising decision that should get people talking. Without a goalkeeper until last night due to an epidemic of Covid-19, the Comoros finally had the good news to see Ali Ahamada, their goalkeeper, test positive this morning. A test that should have allowed the former Toulouse player to be lined up tonight against Cameroon in the round of 16 of the CAN, but a last-minute rule change, as explained the team, now requires a five-day isolation. We even stipulated to the doorman that he would be banned from the stadium.
Ahamada negative, but prohibited?
A more than surprising decision in a context where the host country therefore finds itself very clearly advantaged if ever no goalkeeper from the Comoros can be aligned. The Comorian federation has made a special request to be able to get out of this delicate situation. For the moment, CAF has not communicated on this file which still promises new twists, the kick-off of the meeting being scheduled for 8 p.m.
to summarize
Ali Ahamad, the goalkeeper of the Comoros, tested negative on the day of the round of 16 of the African Cup of Nations against Cameroon, but a new regulation prevents him from playing, no goalkeeper is qualified on the Comoros side.
