On the same day his loan to Danish First Division club Hobro IK was confirmed, Anatole Abang was also announced as part of Cameroon's latest men's national team squad.
The Indomitable Lions will play their final 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier, against Gambia, on September 3. On September 6, the team will play a friendly against Gabon. The squad's schedule suggests it might be a while before Abang plays for his new club. Hobro's next scheduled game is on August 29: the same day Cameroon opens its training camp for its September internationals.
