Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Gabon will not play in the African Cup of Nations at the start of 2024 in Ivory Coast.
This is one of the little sensations of the CAN 2024 qualifiers, the final phase of which will take place in Ivory Coast, from January 13 to February 11. Gabon of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (OM) was eliminated, beaten on Saturday in Mauritania (2-1).
This meeting of the 6th and final day of Group I started very badly for Les Panthères with the expulsion in the 5th minute of the goalkeeper, Jean-Noël Amonome.
The Gabonese will even find themselves down to nine in the 90th minute and this new red card, addressed to Jacques-Emmanuel Ekomié. In the final ranking, the selection led by Frenchman Patrice Neveu finished third, behind Mauritania (2nd) and DR Congo (1st), both qualified.
OM will lose a lot of players
“Aubam” will therefore remain available to his coach at OM at the start of next year. Just like Geoffrey Kondogbia, eliminated with the Central African Republic.
On the other hand, Marcelino and the Marseille staff will have to cope without the Senegalese Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaïla Sarr and Pape Gueye, the Congolese Chancel Mbemba and the Moroccans Amine Harit and Azzedine Ounahi.
