Cameroon manager Clarence Seedorf has snubbed captain Benjamin Moukandjo and forward Christian Bassogog from his squad because they play their football in China, telling reporters he won't call up players who have moved out to the Far East.
As reported by BBC Sport's Njie Enow, the Dutchman said he will make exceptions for players plying their trade in the Middle East, but the Chinese league is off-limits:
"Good young players don't compete in China or in Asia.
"Players must understand that if they go after more lucrative contracts, then they forfeit their chances of playing in the national team.
