Eto'o is accused of dropping Aboubakar to keep his goalscoring record.

Cameroon was already embroiled in controversy before even qualifying for the Africa Cup of Nations when Eto'o was accused of influencing the exclusion of Aboubakar, a striker who was close to breaking his record.

Eto'o is accused of dropping Aboubakar to keep his goalscoring record.

Samuel Eto'o, president of the Cameroon Football Federation, is facing accusations of pressuring for Vincent Aboubakar to be excluded from the African Cup of Nations (CAN) squad in order to protect his goalscoring record. This information, published by The Sun , quickly sparked a major debate in African football circles.

According to sources, Eto'o is alleged to have influenced the coaching staff during the final squad selection process ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations. Aboubakar, the experienced striker and icon of the Cameroon national team, was surprisingly absent, despite maintaining consistent form and being one of the remaining leaders of the current generation.

What has drawn public attention is the gap between the two players' goalscoring records. Eto'o ended his international career with 56 goals in 118 matches. Aboubakar currently has 45 goals in 117 appearances and still has the opportunity to close the gap, or even surpass this record, if he continues to maintain his form.

The Sun suggests that Aboubakar's exclusion may stem from Eto'o's concern about being overtaken in the ranking of Cameroon's greatest goalscorers in history. However, the federation has not yet issued an official response, and fans are divided: some believe this is unfounded speculation, while others question the transparency of the selection process.

With Cameroon preparing for the continent's most important tournament, these allegations put immense pressure on Eto'o and the management team. Aboubakar's future with the national team is also in question, and the story is likely to continue as the Africa Cup of Nations heats up.
