Joel Matip returns to Lions Den

Cameroon has called up a 30-man squad ahead of their Asian tour coming up in the next FIFA international friendly matches window.
    German tactician, Volke Finke made several changes to the squad as he looks forward to ameliorate the performance of the team after the bizarre 2015 African Nations Cup outing in Equatorial Guinea in which the lions finished last in Group D after recording two draws with Mali and Guinea and a defeat to Côte d’Ivoire.
    Finke left out Edgar Salli, goalkeeper Pierre Sylvain Abogo, Cédric Djeugoué, Mandjeck and Patrick Ekeng Ekeng who all took part at the AFCON in Guinea-Equator.
    Due to injury, Olympique de Marseille Nicolas Nkoulou recovering from a knee injury and Schalke 04 striker Eric Choupo-Moting were also left out.

    Meanwhile, former Espérance de Tunis centre-back Yaya Banana has been given another chance, while Coton Sport defender Moussa Bana and Sporting Gijon midfielder Dani Ndi were called up for the tour. Also, Schalke defender Joel Matip will be making a return in the Lions’ den after months of absence.
    During their Asian Tour, the indomitable Lions will face Indonesia in Sidoarjo on March 25 before battling Thailand in Bangkok on March 30.
