“If the decision is that we lose three points, then okay, we lose three points,” said Belgian coach Broos, who led Cameroon to win the 2017 AFCON.
“But look at the rules, there was no complaint.
“Honestly, we didn’t know Mokoena was suspended, and Lesotho didn’t know either.”
He continued: “There was no complaint. Why should we start doubting, being scared or afraid?
“We got a good result in Nigeria and we won in Benin.
“If it’s like that, we’ll fight on the pitch.”
