Le Guen makes three Cameroon changes

Cameroon coach Paul Le Guen made three changes to the team that lost so meekly to Japan for Saturday’s Group E clash against Denmark at Loftus Versfeld.

Out went Jean Makoun, Joel Matip and Eric Choupo Moting with former Chelsea midfielder Geremi, Achille Emana and Arsenal midfielder Alexandre Song coming in.

Denmark coach Morten Olsen also made a couple of changes to his starting line-up although crucially Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner does start.

Former Newcastle United player John Dahl Tomasson and former Chelsea winger Jesper Gronkjaer coming in for midfielders Thomas Kahlenberg and Thomas Enevoldsen.

Both teams have also changed formations with Cameroon switching to a 4-4-2 and Denmark going for a 4-3-3.
