16 players took part in the training session on Tuesday before the friendly game against the DRC Wednesday.

The Lions opened the doors of Mfandena on Wednesday for the start of training for the national team. At the training grounds, 16 out of the 24 players summoned for the 30th edition of AFCON (Equatorial Guinea, 17 January to 8 February) were present.

The Turkish group including Aurélien Chedjou, Jacques Zoua Daogari, Georges Mandjeck, Léonard Kwekeu were not around. Also absent were, Guy Roland Ndy Assembé, Raoul Cédric Loé, Patrick Ekeng Ekeng and Stéphane Mbia; for the last two, the delay was communicated.

Even with stretching, the Lions treated the show with clever techniques, to the delight of the public. Only 14 out of the 16 present were used in the workshop.

Nicolas Nkoulou, Defender, bandage on his left knee and Clinton Njié were required to access special treatment with the Physio and fitness coach, who gave them each a typical physio care.
