This is undoubtedly also the magic of Christmas! While he had been announced forfeit for the start of the competition by the Gabon staff for days due to an injury to his left thigh contracted during a match with OM in mid-December, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang made a remarkable entry into play in the 33rd minute of the match against Cameroon this Wednesday during the first day of Group F of the African Cup of Nations.
The day before the match, Gabon coach Thierry Mouyouma remained evasive on the presence or absence of his attacker. “Last week, he had a problem with Marseille,” the coach replied at a press conference. He arrived on Monday and started training with us. It’s already a victory that he’s on the field. On Wednesday we will see if he will start, but all the players are motivated and part of the project. »
Absent from the starting 11, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang came into play shortly after the half-hour mark in place of Teddy Averlant. Gabon was then led by Cameroon (1-0). The Marseille striker quickly proved dangerous.
