This could prove to be a big blow for Cameroon given that Michaela Abam has been impressive in the build up to the competition, scoring five goals during warm up games.

The Minister of Sports and Physical Education, Narcisse Mouelle Kombi and the President of the Cameroon Football Federation, Seidou Mbombo Njoya visited the players in camp yesterday to boost their spirits ahead of today’s match.

This evening’s game in Montpellier, will be the first official game ever played between the Indomitable Lionesses and Canada.
