The midfielder is in Morocco for the African World Cup playoffs and was due to play against the Democratic Republic of Congo on Thursday. The extent of the injury needs to be assessed
Bad news for Napoli from Rabat: during Tuesday’s training with his national team, André Zambo-Anguissa, Cameroon midfielder, stopped. This is a muscular problem, the extent of which will only be verified by instrumental tests. The player will certainly miss the semi-final of the world playoffs that the Indomitable Lions will play on Thursday at 8pm in Morocco against the Democratic Republic of Congo. If successful, Cameroon would then return to the field on Sunday evening, again in Rabat, for the final against the winner of Nigeria-Congo (Thursday at 5pm). The qualified team will then go on to play the intercontinental playoffs. It remains to be seen whether Anguissa will return to Naples immediately or remain with his teammates in the Moroccan retreat. News that will surely send president De Laurentiis into a rage, who never misses an opportunity to underline – as he did at the latest Football Business Forum last Friday at Bocconi University – how the national teams return broken players to the clubs.
