Bamboutos of Mbouda has dismissed club captain Junior Brandon Njoufack and goalkeeper Patrick Lionel Kybien, citing repeated absence from training, insubordination, incitement to strike, and non-respect of professional ethics.
Fans in Shock as Bamboutos Dismisses Two Key Players.
The decision was made public in a communique signed by the Club Director General, Pascal Dissock. It should be noted that this is not the first time Bamboutos has had disciplinary and administrative issues with their players this season.
In February this year, the Players refused to train due to unpaid salaries. It is unclear whether this latest development is connected to similar claims.
In a separate communique, four other players were suspended from club activities for seven days due to unjustified absences from training sessions.
They are:
- Hermann Tchoukounte Sandjon
- Moussa Aoudou
- Eugene Patrice Ejenguele
- Edwin Leonel Ngoumeka
