GOALKEEPER - Andre Onana
The La Masia graduate is the best goalkeeper Cameroon have at the moment and is set to continue in goal.

LEFT-BACK - Nouhou Tolo
The US-based player is in line to make his 10th appearance for Cameroon.
Tolo has managed to replace Ambroise Oyongo at the left side of defence.
CENTRE-BACK - Michael Ngadeu
Coach Conceicao can always invest all his trust in Ngadeu.
The Genk man has been a regular under the Portuguese, starting all six games in their 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifiers as well as the Group A opener.

CETRE-BACK - Jerome Onguene
The former France youth international made his Afcon finals debut against Burkina Faso and will be out to prove to Conceicao again why he deserves to keep his place in the team.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER - Samuel Oum Gouet
In Cameroon's last match, Oum Gouet did not do anything that demands the coach to change his midfield anchorman.

RIGHT MIDFIELDER - Nicolas Ngamaleu
The Young Boys star would be eager to do more in terms of attack than how he did in the last game.
LEFT MIDFIELDER - Karl Toko Ekambi
Ekambi was not at his usual best against Burkina Faso and he goes into the Ethiopia match keen to prove that he is still key in this Cameroon squad.

ATTACKING MIDFIELDER - Andre Zambo Anguissa
The Napoli star has not been enjoying a good record in terms of goals and assists at his club and would want to banish that against Ethiopia.

CENTRE-FORWARD - Eric Choupo-Moting
The Bayern Munich forward came on as a second substitute against Burkina Faso and not much was seen from him as he was returning from injury.
But having now fully recovered, he could be influential if handed a starting spot.

CENTRE-FORWARD - Vincent Aboubakar
The hosts' captain had a bright start to the tournament, grabbing a brace against Burkina Faso.
