​Surprise Cameroon recall for West Ham midfielder Song

West Ham midfielder Alex Song has been recalled by Cameroon for their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa.

Song has not played for his national team since Cameroon's poor 2014 World Cup campaign in Brazil.

Song's inclusion in new coach Hugo Broos' first squad is a surprise after the 28-year-old announced his international retirement last year.
