Le Guen weighs up local players

Cameroon's coach Paul Le Guen is looking to local players to complement his squad ahead of the World Cup.

Paul Le Guen is broadening his net ahead of the World Cup and has called up 24 locally-based players to a training camp in Yaounde later this month. The five-day exercise, which is aimed at identifying possible new talent, will also have striker Francis Ambane, based at Algerian champions Entente Setif, and Alfred Mfongang, who plays for AS Vita Club in the Democratic Republic of Congo.







The Indomitable Lions team has long been dominated by players in Europe, but Le Guen had promised to pay more attention to the home-based talent that many of his predecessors were accused of neglecting.

Cameroon's squad at January's African Nations Cup finals was made up only of overseas-based players. They were eliminated in the quarter-finals.

At this year's World Cup in South Africa, Cameroon have been drawn in Group E with Denmark, Japan and Netherlands.
