Eyong to miss Ivory Coast's clash

...The midfielder needs ten days of treatment to recover from a muscle injury.

Cameroon’s midfielder Enoh Eyong has been declared unfit for Wednesday’s Nations Cup clash against Ivory Coast due to a persisting muscle injury.

The 23-year-old, who sustained his injury during Cameroon’s 1-1 draw against Mali in group D opener, has missed the Indomitable Lions’ 1-1 draw against Guinea on Saturday.

Scans revealed that the Standard Liege midfielder needs ten days of treatment.

After two matches, all four teams in Group D have compiled two points with the same goal difference setting up a scenario whereby advancement to the second round could come down to the drawing of lots.
