YAOUNDE : Comoros Islands were forced to field a fullback 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 –- one through injury and two after testing COVID-19 positive last week.

But his participation was later ruled out by the Confederation of African Football , whose medical commission said any player who had been in quarantine would have to wait five days before being allowed to return to play. Comoros said on Sunday they had tested the suitability in goal of several of their outfield players in anticipation of having no goalkeeper available.
