Cameroon recall for Job

Joseph-Desire Job has been in good form this season

France-based striker Joseph Desire Job has been recalled to the Cameroon national team after a two-year absence.

The 28-year old, who plays for Ligue 1 side Sedan, was named in a 20-man squad to face Liberia in a Nations Cup qualifier in 24 March.

Job, who last played for the Indomitable Lions in a friendly against Senegal in 2005, is expected to begin training with the squad in Yaounde on 20 March.

Interim manager Jules Nyonga called the Sedan striker after he scoring seven goals in LIgue 1 so far this season.

Cameroon are top of Group 5 with six points from two games, leading Liberia and Equatorial Guinea, both on three points, and Rwanda who have yet to score a point.

Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o is back in the squad, having returned to club action in February following a four-month absence due to a knee injury.

Hamburg defender Timothee Atouba also returns for the first time since since last year's African Nations Cup in Egypt.

Werder Bremen defender Pierre Wome was left out after failing to show for last month's friendly against Togo.

Wome has not played an international since he missed the October 2005 penalty that would have qualified the team for the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
