Auba, Meye and Lemina.
Aubameyang was forced to sit out Gabon's opening victory over Comoros after testing positive for coronavirus upon is arrival in Yaounde on January 6,
but had been primed to make his comebackagainst Ghana in their Group C meeting at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo on Friday after returning a negative test.
However, the
Arsenal striker was omitted from Gabon's starting line-up on the day, with Gabon's Football Federation reporting on Twitter in the hours before the match that the Confederation of African Football's Medical Commission had prevented him and teammates
Axel Meye and midfielder
Mario Lemina from playing after tests revealed "cardiac lesions."
Neveu sought to set the record straight after Friday's draw.
"In the readings, it's clear that Aubameyang has no cardiac problems," Neveu told ESPN. "He [and Lemina] passed PCR tests and they were negative.
"They then did the second lot of exams, cardiac tests, and it seemed as though the pair of them had problems.
"It appears as though the virus has left residue, it's possible that the illness has left an impact, and two hours before the match, the team doctor and the doctor of CAF were on a phonecall with me, and they told me not to play them."
