Has there been any of our players who were called up for the AFCON for that matter while on our books?

I think Bong was, but was in dispute with the Cameroon FA and turned it down.

Percy Tau (South Africa), Leon Balogun (Nigeria) and Gaetan Bong (Cameroon) all played in the 2019 Finals in Egypt in June/July 2019. Nigeria finished third but Balogun was an unused substitute for the semi-final and the Third place play-off.

Increasingly looking like this tournament will be cancelled due to the civil war in Cameroon. Dont think Biss would have gone there anyway, but still.

Some massive question marks on whether this tournament will happen and if it will include players from European leagues (as they may not be able to go back) but now there is finally a date when the squads must be in - December 30, just 10 days before the tournament begin. Hopefully we'll know about Bissouma a bit before that.

Any suggestion anywhere that he’s likely to play given he hasn’t for over 3 years ??

There was rumours in Malian media before their last set of games that things might have been resolved and that he would be called up. Didnt happen but there could be other reasons for that (such as his injury).

Most likely he isnt going but I wont be 100% calm about it until they reveal their squad.
