Gabon: Aubameyang and two other negative players, but stopped for heart problems

In the tweet of the Gabonese federation we read that the decision came directly from the medical commission of the Caf (the African federation), which did not want to risk and therefore decided not to let the three players take the field: “According to the medical commission of the Caf , the players Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Axel Meyé and Mario Lemina, just recovered from Covid, cannot take part in this match. The exams would show heart lesions, the Caf did not want to take any risks “.
