Cameroon’s coach Volker Finke has run the changes in the Indomitable Lions team. The German tactician has decided to leave out the majority of the players who featured in Cameroon’s dreadful campaign at the 2014 Fifa World Cup in Brazil.
On the eve of the 2015 Afcon squad announcement, Cameroon’s star player, Alex Song revealed that he is no longer an option for Cameroon, counting himself out of the 23-man squad.
Instead Finke has turned to a younger crop of players in what will be Cameroon’s first major tournament since the retirement of Samuel Eto’o from international football.
Cameroon are placed in Group D with the Ivory Coast, Guinea and Mali.
Squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Pierre Sylvain Abogo (Tonnerre Yaounde), Guy N’dy Assembe (Nancy), Fabrice Ondoa (Barcelona B)
Defenders: Cedric Djeugoue (Coton Sport), Nicolas N’Koulou (Marseille), Henri Bedimo (Lyon), Frank Bagnack (Barcelona B), Ambroise Oyongo (New York Red Bulls), Brice N’Late (Marseille)

Forwards: Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting (Schalke), Benjamin Moukandjo (Reims), Vincent Aboubakar (Porto), Leonard Kweuke (Caykur Rizespor), Clinton N’Jie (Lyon), Franck Etoundi (Zurich), Jacques Zoua Daogari (Kayseri Erciyesspor)
