Romain Molina indicated that FC Nantes had released Loan Merrifield, selected with France for the U17 World Cup, but had refused to release Lilian Marcus Djeudje, selected with Cameroon for the same competition. He questioned why the two players had been treated differently. Molina specified that Nantes had the right to keep its players, as the competition was not taking place during an official FIFA window. However, he wondered how the club could explain this difference to two teenagers who wanted to participate in a World Cup. According to him, the Cameroonian Football Federation (FECAFOOT) had requested explanations in a letter attached to his message. He added that Nantes could still allow Djeudje to join the Lions, which FECAFOOT hoped for. #CoupeDuMondeU17 #FCNantes #FECAFOOT (translated)
