"Napoli have confirmed Frank Anguissa has suffered a high-grade injury to his left thigh, which could threaten his hopes of representing Cameroon at the Africa Cup of Nations. Anguissa sustained the injury while training with his national team and returned to Italy to undergo tests, with initial reports suggesting it was not serious. However, on Thursday, Napoli said Anguissa had sustained "a high-grade lesion to the biceps femoris in his left thigh.""
"With Cameroon opening their Africa Cup of Nations campaign against Gabon on Christmas Eve, the former Fulham man now appears unlikely to feature at the tournament. He will definitely miss Cameroon's World Cup qualifying play-off tie against DR Congo on Thursday, with the winners set to face Nigeria or Gabon for the right to feature in the inter-confederation play-offs next March."
Frank Anguissa suffered a high-grade lesion to the biceps femoris in his left thigh after sustaining an injury while training with Cameroon and returned to Italy for tests. Napoli confirmed the diagnosis and said he had begun a rehabilitation programme. Italian media estimate an absence of eight to twelve weeks, which would likely rule him out of Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations campaign that opens against Gabon on Christmas Eve. Anguissa will miss Cameroon's World Cup qualifying play-off against DR Congo. He also risks missing key Napoli fixtures before Christmas, including Serie A, Champions League, Coppa Italia and Supercoppa matches.
