Bayern Munich star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting misses out on Cameroon call-up due embarrassing administrative error... after national team accidentally sent his email invite to THEMSELVES instead of him

Bayern Munich star Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting will have to watch Cameroon's upcoming matches from afar, after an embarrassing administrative error meant he didn't receive his call-up to the team.

The former PSG and Stoke City midfielder is one of the team's standout players and was a shoo-in to make the squad, but was surprised to not receive an invite to join up with his international colleagues.

Incredibly, it has now emerged that a Cameroon official accidentally sent his call-up to themselves, meaning Choupo-Moting never received it and will therefore not be able to play in their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Cape Verde and Rwanda this month.
