Libreville, Wednesday, May 24, 2023 (Infos Gabon) – The list published this Wednesday by the coach of the football pennant team for the match of June 18, 2023 in Franceville contains within it Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Mario Lemina and Bruno Ecuele Manga.
During a press conference held this Wednesday in Owendo, the coach of the Panthers of Gabon announced the list of 23 players to face the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) on June 18. In this list made public by Patrice Neveu, we note the great return of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang, Mario Lemina and Bruno Ecuele Manga. The first two who announced their international retirement, have not donned the colors of Gabon since the last African Cup of Nations (CAN) disputed in January and February 2022 in Cameroon. This return to the den is to be credited to the Head of State, Ali Bongo Ondimba, who successfully conducted this mediation.
On the other hand, the emblematic midfielder Guelor Kanga is absent from this summons. An accumulation of cardboard would be the cause of this absence. Patrice Neveu and his foals will meet again on June 7 in France as part of a regrouping and will then play a friendly match on June 12 before returning to Gabon. Gabon leads Group I with 7 points, ahead of Mauritania with 4 points and the DRC which closes the tail with 3 points. Gabon is on track to qualify for CAN 2023 in Côte d’Ivoire.
