OUTSIDERS Comoros have been left without a goalkeeper to take on hosts Cameroon at the African Cup of Nations after the team was hit by a wave of Covid-19 cases.
Twelve members of the Comoros delegation have tested positive for the virus, including the two remaining goalkeepers in the squad, Moyadh Ousseini and Ali Ahamada, Comoros general manager El Hadad Himidi said on Saturday. The team’s top keeper, Salim Ben Boina, is out injured.
In total, seven players and Comoros coach Amir Abdou have tested positive.
