YAOUNDE (Reuters) - Cameroon coach Rigobert Song included goalkeeper Andre Onana but dropped striker Eric-Maxime Choupo Moting when he named their squad for next month’s African Cup of Nations finals on Thursday.

Onana, 27, had walked out on Cameroon after a row with Song at last year’s World Cup in Qatar but returned after a reconciliation with the coach to help Cameroon qualify for the Cup of Nations finals in the Ivory Coast, which gets underway on Jan. 13.
