Cameroon and Egypt are preparing for the U-23 friendly in Egypt. The national under 23 football squad is currently fine tuning their tactics ahead of a friendly tournament to take place in Egypt from July 26 to August 4. As opposed to the first training camp which dwelled on the physical fitness of players, the second and last training camp focuses on oiling the tactical machinery put in place.

Cameroon manager Paul Le Guen has named star man Samuel Eto'o in his 23-man World Cup squad despite the striker's claims he might walk away from the tournament.

Eto'o is unhappy with comments made by legendary former striker Roger Milla and though he missed the 1-1 draw with Slovakia, Le Guen has named him in his 23.

Cameroon midfielder Eric Djemba-Djemba is likely to miss the rest of the Danish league season because of injury.

The 28-year-old, who plays for Odense, was stretchered off during Sunday's 2-0 win over Aarhus in a league game.

He had a scan on the problem area immediately after the game and was expected to be out for two weeks. But subsequent tests by doctors show that the injury is worse than first feared as he could be out for two months.

Italy coach Marcello Lippi is likely to name an experimental side when his team meets Cameroon in an international friendly on Wednesday.

For the world champion it is the last chance to try out new faces and Lippi has given first time call ups to goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu, defender Leonardo Bonucci and striker Andrea Cossu.

Italy's other pre-World Cup friendlies are against Mexico and Switzerland on June 3 and 5. In training Lippi has been trying out a three man central defense of captain Fabio Cannavaro and Giorgio Chiellini alongside newcomer Bonucci.
