Castelletto's Comeback Sparks Controversy in Cameroon Camp

After a long absence, Jean-Charles Castelletto is back with the Indomitable Lions — but his return has stirred more drama than delight.

A Jab from 30,000 Feet

The FC Nantes defender, surprised by his selection for Cameroon’s upcoming friendlies against Uganda (June 6) and Equatorial Guinea (June 9), took a cheeky swipe on Snapchat.

His post, captioned “End of vacation, Marc Brys has decided not to hold a grudge anymore”, alluded to tensions with head coach Marc Brys, who had previously questioned the player’s commitment.

History of Friction

Castelletto was omitted from March’s squad despite strong club form, following call-ups in October and November. His exclusion then, and sudden recall now, suggest a complicated and unresolved relationship with the Belgian coach.

A Camp Still on Edge

The defender’s sarcastic tone has triggered a flurry of reactions on social media, dividing fans and hinting at deeper unrest within the Cameroonian squad.

Reunion or Just Routine?

Is this merely a tactical recall for two low-stakes friends, or is it a start toward reconciliation? In any case, it's evident that the Cameroon team's locker room is still shaky and that the animosity between Castelletto and Brys won't go away with a single international window.
