Bikey out of qualifier
ByReuters
Reading defender Andre Bikey has pulled out of Cameroon's squad for next weekend's African Nations Cup qualifier against Liberia because his passport is in the post as he seeks a renewal of his British work permit.
Striker Joseph Desire Job has also withdrawn from Saturday's game in Yaounde citing family reasons, the Cameroon Football Federation confirmed.
The French-born Job, who last played for the Indomitable Lions against Sudan in 2005, had won a recall to the side after finding form at his new French Ligue 1 club Sedan.
Cameroon's caretaker coach Jules Nyongha has called up uncapped Idriss Ambane of Union Douala to replace Job in his 20-man squad but not announced any replacement for Bikey.
Cameroon lead the standings in Group Seven after winning their first two qualifiers for the 2008 Nations Cup finals.
