Cameroon coach Hugo Broos has left out Captain Stephane Mbia from the 23 man squad for the friendly against France and later against Mauritanian in the African Nations Cup qualifiers.

The drop comes after Mbia was benched during the second leg game against South Africa and during which he is said to have spoken bad about his teammates.

Cameroon Sports Minister, Bidoung Kpwatt on the occasion called him to order, it is no surprise he has been left out.

Also left out are Sebastien Bassong, Matip Marvin Landry N’guemo and others who played against South Africa.

Njie Clinton who has been off play due to injury for three months as a result of a torn knee ligament that kept him away from the game against South Africa in both legs returns to the team.

Cameroon coach Hugo Broos in his third outing since he took over as Cameroon coach has given some home based players a chance to show their worth; Djetei Mohammed of Union of Douala, Aaron Mbimbe of Cotonsport of Garoua and Joseph Jonathan Ngwem of Unisport.

A glimpse at the list shows that Broos wants a compact defense and attack for his team to score as well as block balls from the goal.

Cameroon are set to play a friendly against France on May 30 with the 37,000 tickets already sold out and against Mauritania on June 3.
