On the other hand, Choupo-Moting, who suffered a sprain, and Anguissa, sidelined with a leg injury, have already been ruled out. The MLS striker underwent an MRI that confirmed a knee sprain. As for Anguissa, one of the last to join the squad, he was forced to cut Tuesday’s session short due to a muscle strain.
