Gambia are next up in Cameroon’s quest to win the Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.

The hosts can book a spot in the semi-finals of the competition on Saturday with a victory in Douala, but in their way stand another of Africa’s minnows who have starred this month thanks to their no-fear approach.

Coach Antonio Conceicao should have a fully-fit squad to pick from after his stars came through the last-16 unscathed.

That will mean Andre Onana starting in goal and Jean-Charles Castelletto partnering captain Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui in the centre of defence. Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting should start up front alongside AFCON top scorer Vincent Aboubakar in a 4-4-2 system.

Gambia, meanwhile, have doubts over defender Noah Sonko Sundberg while Yusupha Njie is banned after his red card in the last-16 win over Guinea.

Cameroon starting XI: Onana; Tolo, Onguéné, Ngadeu, Fai; Gouet, Kunde; Choupo-Moting, Moumi, Toko Ekambi; Aboubakar
