AFCON 2021: Bayern Munich Could Withhold Choupo Moting

In Julian Nagelsmann’s pre – match discuss during the mid – week, prior to Bayern’s clash against Wolfsburg, he hinted on the club’s willingness to see Choupo Moting fully fit, before international duty.

Choupo Moting has been in quarantine since November 21. He tested positive for the Covid on the 24th of November, and will probably not be available to play until the second half of the season begins in January 2022.

Read Julian Nagelsmann;

‘A decision will be made as to whether or not Choupo Moting will participate in the Africa Cup in the coming days depending on his physical form.

‘If he is fit we are obliged to let him go. The tournament will take place in his home country so I understand that he would like to participate.

‘From a medical point of view, it is debatable, we will have to weigh the pros and cons, ” ended Nagelsmann.

Choupo’s last appearance for Bayern Munich was on November 19 against Augsburg.

The 32 year old is a real presence for the Cameroonian national team, and it will be a big blow if Antonio Conceiçao cannot have his forward for fitness reasons, come January.
