Anatole Abang made two significant lists on Monday, December 12: he's on the New York Red Bulls' list of players available for selection in the 2016 MLS Expansion Draft, and he's on Cameroon's 35-player preliminary roster for the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations. Given that Abang is on loan to a club in Denmark's First Division (second tier) and hasn't kicked a ball in MLS since July, it's fair to assume he was more affected by the news from Cameroon than that from his club.
Abang is currently in a training camp convened by Cameroon Men's National Team head coach, Hugo Broos.
