With Christopher Wooh and Enzo Boyomo suspended, head coach Marc Peter\u00a0 Brysis set to rely on the experienced defender to strengthen the backline.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old is expected to take part in Monday evening\u2019s training session and could form a central defensive partnership with Michael Ngadeu Ngadjui for the game on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon\u2019s centre-back options include Castelleto, Samuel Kotto, and Michael Ngadeu with the coach likely to select two for Wednesday\u2019s encounter.<\/p>\n<p>Since switching his international allegiance from France, where he represented the nation at youth level, to Cameroon in 2017, Castelleto has become a pillar of the Indomitable Lions\u2019 defence.<\/p>\n<p>He has earned 33 caps, featuring in major tournaments such as the FIFA Confederations Cup, Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), and the FIFA World Cup, where he notably scored against Serbia in a thrilling 3\u20133 draw.<\/p>\n<p>A member of Cameroon\u2019s squad at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and their third-place finish at the 2021 AFCON on home soil, Castelleto\u2019s experience and leadership will be vital as the team looks to close the five-point gap separating them from group leaders Cape Verde Islands.<\/p>\n<p>Cameroon will face Mauritius Island on Wednesday in St. Louis, before travelling for their Matchday 10 fixture against Angola on October 13 \u2014 matches that could prove decisive in their quest for World Cup qualification.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Copyright\u00a92025 kick442.com-Cameroon<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>All rights reserved.
