Eric Choupo-Moting plays for Bayern Munich and is the main figure of the Cameroon team. However, the forward wasn't called up to represent his country in the next matches due to an unusual error in communication. The 31-year-old attacker was on the subpoena list but never received the notification. According to information from the German daily Bild, the Cameroonian Federation believed it had sent the summons by email to the striker. But finally, she sent it to herself!

The former Paris Saint-Germain striker never received the summons from him and the coach of the National Team, Antonio Conceicao, thought that the player had not wanted to respond to the call and that he preferred to rest for the end of the season with Bayern Munich. To top it all, seeing the final list without Moting's name he greatly annoyed both his father and the player's representative.

“The federation contacted me to find out what was going on. I contacted Bayern and they confirmed that they had not received the notification. They reportedly sent the invitation to the wrong email address and didn't find out until Monday. It's a lack of professionalism", denounced Camille Just Choupo-Moting, father of the forward, on the Naja television channel.

Therefore, the player will miss the next two matches corresponding to the qualification for the next African Cup of Nations: on Friday as a visitor to Cape Verde, on the 5th date of zone B in the third round, and on Tuesday, as locals from Rwanda.
