Former Espanyol goalkeeper, Idris Carlos Kameni says he will gladly accept an invite from the Cameroonian national team ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

"I don't see myself today asking to be called and overshadowing a young person. But if there is a case of force majeure, like a last minute injury (which I wouldn't wish on anyone) or an incredible situation and I'm asked 'please, can you come lend a hand?', I will gladly do so. I feel indebted to my country which gave me everything," he said, as quoted by afrik-foot.com.

The ex-Malaga goalkeeper's last appearance for the five-time African champions was in an international friendly against Zambia in 2019.

Meanwhile, Cameroon coach, Rigobert Song has been relying on the services of Manchester United goalkeeper, Andre Onana, as well as Fabrice Ondoa.

Kameni started his career in Cameroon with Kadji Sports before moving to France to sign for Le Havre. He later played for Saint-Etienne before making a big move to La Liga, where he played for Espanyol and Malaga at the peak of his career, as reported by Transfermarkt.
