With Joel Matip absent from Cameroon’s provisional squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui will be expected to be the Indomitable Lions’ key man in defence.
The Slavia Prague defender has enjoyed a fantastic season with the Czech giants, winning the domestic league, reaching the last eight of the Europa League, and earning recognition as the best centre-back in the top flight this term.
Ngadeu-Ngadjui is not a superior player to Matip, who won the Champions League final as Liverpool defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 in Madrid on Saturday, but he can ensure that the Reds stopper isn’t missed in Egypt.
