Comoros Islands were forced to field a defender in goal for Monday’s Africa Cup of Nations last-16 tie against hosts Cameroon in Yaounde after being refused permission to use goalkeeper Ali Ahamada, despite him returning a negative COVID-19 test result.
All three goalkeepers for the small island nation had been ruled out of the match on the eve of the tie –-injured goalkeeper Salim Ben Boina, Moyadh Ousseini and Ali Ahamada who were ruled out with Covid-19.
