2014 World Cup - squad - Cameroon coach picks familiar line-up

Cameroon coach Volker Finke has opted for a tried and trusted line-up in his 28-man provisional World Cup squad.

The German has picked all but one of the group of players who earned the Indomitable Lions' place at Brazil with the play-off win over Tunisia. Striker Jacques Zoua, who plays for Hamburg, is the unfortunate man to miss out because of injury.

Much will be expected of forward Vincent Aboubakar after his 16 goals for Lorient this season. That places him joint-second highest scorer in the French Ligue 1 behind only Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is set to partner elder statesman Samuel Eto'o, who remains Cameroon's all-time leading scorer with 55 goals.
