Senegal vs Cameroon lineups: Starting XIs, confirmed team news, injury latest for AFCON game today

Cameroon face a huge AFCON challenge against Senegal today, and do so without captain Vincent Aboubakar.

The Indomitable Lions made a disappointing start to their latest Africa Cup of Nations campaign as they were held to a draw by 10-man Guinea, putting major pressure on them heading into a meeting with the holders this afternoon.

Aboubakar remains on the sidelines with a thigh injury that he picked up training, and will hope to return for his country's final group-stage match.

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana does start after his late arrival to camp and the travel chaos that ensued before the meeting with Guinea.

Senegal, meanwhile, opened what they hope will be another successful campaign by making light work of The Gambia in their opening fixture.

The Lions of Teranga are not thought to be carrying any fresh injury concerns and have not made many changes, with Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson on the bench once again.

Pape Matar Sarr comes into the team in midfield, having recovered from the hamstring scare suffered for Tottenham at the end of December, and Abdou Diallo partners Kalidou Koulibaly at the back.
