Eto'o has since appointed David Pagou as his successor, despite Brys admitting he had not been told this was the case, and thus naming his own squad.
Gabon have had a much easier preparation for the tournament, with ex-Arsenal man Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang set to be involved.

Watch Cameroon vs Gabon from anywhere
Abroad this Christmas? A good VPN won't just improve your online security, it can also make your device appear to be in another country, magically unblocking your streaming services while you're travelling overseas.
Our brainy colleagues across the office at Tom's Guide review all VPN providers, and NordVPN comes out as the best VPN in the world.
Is Cameroon vs Gabon on TV in the US?
Over in the US, fans can watch Cameroon vs Gabon on beIN Sports. Kick off is at 15:00 pm ET.
BeIN Sports comes on most good cable TV packages, but it doesn't have its own streaming service, so to tune in online, you'll need a cord-cutter such as YouTube TV, Fubo, or Sling.

Cameroon vs Gabon: Preview
Cameroon have left four huge names at home for the tournament, with Andre Onana, Vincent Aboubakar, Choupo-Moting and Michael Ngadeu-Ngadjui all missing out.
Onana is currently out on loan in Turkey with Trabzonspor, with Ruben Amorim casting him aside at Manchester United earlier this year.
There have been suggestions that Eto'o has had some influence in the squad, with all four players known to be big characters, and perhaps not agreeing with the president's way of doing things.
Regardless, Bryan Mbeumo will be a huge miss for the Red Devils and will lead the line for the Indomitable Lions, along with experienced head Christian Bassogog.

Gabon finished second behind hosts Morocco in qualifying, amassing 10 points from six games.
Led by head coach Thierry Mouyouma, the Panthers will have their work cut out against Cameroon, but could fancy their chances given the ongoing controversy surrounding their opponents.
Centre-back Bruno Ecuele Manga will don the armband and still holds the title of most caps with 114 now to his name.
FourFourTwo's prediction
Cameroon 0-0 Gabon
Given all the talk about Eto'o, Cameroon and their new manager, we think this one has 0-0 slapped on it.
