Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) have denied the reports flying around that Bayern Munich forward Eric Choupo-Moting will miss Cameroon’s AFCON qualifiers due to an administrative error.
German media BILD Sport reported that the federation accidentally sent his call-up to their own email address instead of his and as such he didn’t get the call-up.
FECAFOOT denied the reports through a senior official who spoke to Ugandan journalist Usher Komugisha; “The Team Manager sent an email to each player and copied their club and agent. It is the same for Choupo-Moting but Bayern did not respond to us about his availability.”
