2015 AFRICA CUP - GABON - SOKAMBI REPLACES LEMINA

Africa Cup 2015

GROUP A - FIXTURES
17 Jan: vs Burkina Faso
21 Jan: vs Congo
25 Jan: vs Equatorial Guinea


France Under-20 World Cup winner Mario Lemina, who declined a place in Gabon's 2015 Africa Cup of Nations squad, has been replaced by Bonaventure Sokambi.

Lemina rejected his inclusion in Gabon's squad as he hopes for a call-up to the French senior national team instead.

Lemina, who was born in Gabon, said on Twitter:   "All that is being said are just rumours, I'm sorry but there has been no agreement between Gabon and me.

"I will not go to the Nations Cup."

Gabon coach Jorge Costa has now turned to the 23-year-old Sokambi for the 17 January to 8 February finals in Equatorial Guinea.

Sokambi, who recently joined Algerian club ASO Chlef from local side CF Mounana, scored two goals as Gabon exited the 2014 CHAN tournament in the quarterfinals.

Borussia Dortmund forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the biggest name in the Gabon squad, which also includes Cardiff City defender Bruno Ecuele Manga and Charlton striker Frederic Bulot.

Gabon are in Group A at the finals with hosts Equatorial Guinea, Burkina Faso and Congo.
