Gabon were scheduled to leave for Cameroon on Wednesday, with their opening game against Comoros set to take place this coming Monday.

However, Gabon All Sport reported that the players gave the country's sports minister a three-day ultimatum, which has since passed, and they did not leave their hotel room on Wednesday.

It has now been claimed that head coach Patrice Neveu’s men will only depart for Yaounde once the payment issue is resolved.

"The players were categorical. They do not fly if the premium payment situation is not resolved," a source told the Gabonese publication.

"They also deplore the fact that one of the officials has indicated that they will take local players for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations if they do not embark.
