Comoros have confirmed that goalkeeper Ali Ahamada has returned a negative Covid-19 test and will be available to play on Monday against hosts Cameroon in the last 16 of the Africa Cup of Nations finals.
Comoros were on the brink of being forced to field an outfield player in goal for the biggest game in their footballing history after a Covid-19 outbreak in their camp.
The Comoros will have no reserve goalkeeper on the bench on Monday.
Coach Abdou also remains in quarantine and will have to watch the game from his hotel room.
He has been the architect of a remarkable rise for the east African island archipelago team, who qualified for the last 16 against all expectations after a shock 3-2 win over Ghana.
Tournament rules state that teams must play as long as they have a minimum of 11 players available. If they have no goalkeeper available, another player must play in that position.
