He put all his money into trying to play for France and he didn\u2019t succeed. And now we, Cameroon, are his second choice?\u201d Brys said after Ekitike wasn\u2019t named in the France squad for their upcoming qualifiers.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t need to be a second choice. He\u2019s a good player, that\u2019s not the issue. In the situation I described, he doesn\u2019t deserve to come here,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Speaking ahead of Eswatini\u2019s latest qualifying commitments, Eswatini Football Association marketing and communications officer Muzi Radebe confirmed that head coach Zdravko Logarusic will be present for the next set of games despite reports of being missing from the national team.<\/p>\n \u201cThe coach said he would be back before this week ends [as of 8 August],\u201d Radebe said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Eswatini Football Association is also expecting him to be back within this stipulated period.\u201d<\/p>\n PLAYERS TO WATCH<\/strong><\/p>\n Cameroon: Bryan Mbeumo \u2013 <\/strong>The Red Devils star has been a standout performer in the Premier League this season and is expected to play a big role in Cameroon\u2019s progress during the remainder of the qualifiers.<\/p>\n Eswatini: Philani Mkhonto \u2013<\/strong> Despite Eswatini\u2019s struggles, Philani Mkhonto will be a goal threat for Eswatini against Cameroon.
