Clarence Seedorf: Cameroon refuse to chase Joel Matip, Nicolas Nkoulou for Afcon

Cameroon coach Clarence Seedorf has told Goal that he’s leaving the door open for Joel Matip and Nicolas Nkoulou to return to the national team

Cameroon coach Clarence Seedorf has told Goal that he’s leaving the door open for Joel Matip and Nicolas Nkoulou to return to the Indomitable Lions camp, but has refused to chase the stay-away duo.

The reigning African champions qualified for the 2019 event to defend their title in Egypt after defeating the Comoros 3-0 in Yaounde on Saturday.

Attention has now turned to selection issues ahead of the summer, with Seedorf revealing that both defenders have rejected Cameroon’s overtures since he was appointed head coach in August 2018.
