Comoros head into their first ever Afcon knockout tie with a serious conundrum in goal. The minnows do not have a recognised goalkeeper after seeing their side hit by injuries and Covid-19.

Goalkeepers Moyadh Ousseini and Ali Ahamada have tested positive for Covid-19, while Salim Ben Boina is out injured. However, there are reports that Ahamada has tested negative on the morning of the game.

A total of 12 players have been ruled out through Covid-19 and coach Amir Abdou will be absent from the contest after returning a positive test, too.

Cameroon, meanwhile, do not have any injury or suspension worries heading into this match and should be able to field their strongest team for the knockout tie.
