Led by many African internationals, OM will not be without Geoffrey Kondogbia at the next African Cup of Nations next January.
Touched in the knee and resting for a few weeks, Geoffrey Kondogbia could not help the Central African Republic at the end of the qualifiers for the 2024 African Cup of Nations. The Fauves du Bas-Oubangui led the score in Ghana on Thursday, thanks to Louis Mafouta (25th), but the Black Stars reversed the situation thanks to Mohammed Kudus (43rd) and the neo-Lyonnais Ernest Nuamah (88th). For a Ghanaian victory and qualification synonymous with Central African elimination…
Kondogbia will therefore not play the next CAN in Côte d’Ivoire (from January 13 to February 11, 2024), which will delight his coach at OM, Marcelino, who will have to do without several regular players, such as Chancel Mbemba. , Azzedine Ounahi, Amine Harit, Iliman Ndiaye, Ismaïla Sarr and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
A French international from 2013 to 2016, the player trained at RC Lens was able to change sporting nationality in 2018 to join the Central African Republic, which missed out on qualifying for CAN 2019. The Central African Republic did not participate in any edition of the great continental competition.
