Ex-France youth star Ntep eliminated from Cameroon Africa Cup of Nations squad a day after scoring in friendly win

Wolfsburg attacker Paul-Georges Ntep has been dropped from Cameroon's provisional squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, just a day after scoring his first goal for the nation.

The former France youth star is among six players axed from camp in Spain. Coach Clarence Seedorf's other casualties include Red Bull Salzburg centre-back Jerome Onguene and Nurnberg midfielder Edgar Salli, who was part of the title-winning squad of 2017.

Belgium-based attacker Fabrice Olinga, Jean-Pierre Nsame of Swiss club Young Boys and Petrus Boumal, who plays for Russian outfit FC Ural Yekaterinburg, complete the unlucky sextet.
