“I am in contact with a few but it remains personal choices. We are still Cameroonians and the most important thing is to bring all these children together to defend Cameroon in the best possible way," he said as quoted by allezleslions.net.

"We are going to the biggest of competitions and all these players who can help Cameroon are welcome. If after Joël and Nico can be there… We play a World Cup, everyone dreams of playing a World Cup. The decision is up to them. I hope they will come and defend Cameroon with us because it will not be easy. We will need everyone," he added.

Cameroon have been drawn in Group G of the World Cup in Qatar alongside five times champions Brazil, Switzerland and Serbia.
