Afcon: Lyon centre-back Jeremy Morel tops Madagascar's 23-man squad

Madagascar coach Nicolas Dupuis has announced his 23-man squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt, with three players on standby.

Lyon defender Jeremy Morel made the selection to represent Barea for their first Afcon appearance after impressing in their final two qualification fixtures against Sudan and Senegal.

The 35-year-old is joined by Minnesota United’s Romain Metanire and MC Alger midfielder Ibrahim Amada. The squad is dominated by 11 France-based stars.

In October 2018, Madagascar secured their historic Afcon qualification ticket as Group A runners-up behind Senegal.
