Cameroon have told Liverpool defender Joel Matip and West Brom's Allan Nyom that they expect them to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations.
That is despite the players having told their country in December they do not want to play in the competition.
Matip and Nyom were two of eight who pulled out of the tournament, which begins in Gabon on 14 January. Schalke's Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting was another.
Yet in a twist, Cameroon now say the trio should arrive at their training camp on Tuesday.
