The striker has been tearing up the Premier League this season and has now scored 51 international goals, on par with the likes of Thierry Henry, Asamoah Gyan and Hakan Şükür.

If Cameroon are to mount a comeback, they need to score fast.

Aboubaker is a skilled player when it comes to this situation but he thrives on playing against teams which use the counter.

Right now, Serbia will be comfortable defending in high numbers which works against the strengths of the veteran attacker.
