Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang headlines Gabon squad for World Cup qualifiers

Aubameyang is the headline name in the 23-man squad selected by head coach Thierry Mouyouma that includes three new caps, Nze Samake, Yoann Nani Nono, and Mobili Van.

The trio of players highlights Mouyouma's commitment to integrating fresh talent into the squad as Gabon looks to bolster its depth for crucial matches this month.

Another major highlight of the squad announcement is the return of Andre Poko, who is making his comeback after nearly two years away from international duty.

The experienced midfielder, who has 71 caps for Gabon, last featured for the Panthers in June 2023.

As expected, Aubameyang is joined in the squad by fellow forward Denis Bouanga, bringing attacking firepower to the team that hopefully give Gabon the edge.
