The Cameroonian winger Georges-Kévin Nkoudou could miss the upcoming gathering of the Indomitable Lions due to an injury that has kept him off the field since early February.

The Damac FC forward, still recovering, has yet to return to action in the Saudi Pro League, fueling doubts about his availability for the 5th and 6th rounds of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

An absence causing concern among the Indomitable Lions

His prolonged absence is causing concerns within the Cameroonian technical staff. Marc Brys, the coach of the Indomitable Lions, is closely monitoring his progress, aware of the impact Nkoudou's absence could have.

With his speed and penetration on the wings, the former OM and Tottenham player is a key component of the national team's offensive setup.

If Nkoudou were to be ruled out, Cameroon would be forced to reassess their options to maintain their offensive efficiency. Other players will need to step up to fill any potential void, as the team prepares for crucial matches in the race for the 2026 World Cup qualification.
