Devis Epassy, 32 years old, the Dinamo goalkeeper, did not catch anything from the “dogs” training camp held in Antalya, he will receive a few days off after returning from the African Cup and will 100% miss the red-whites' first game of 2026, the one against U Cluj, on January 18.
Cameroon, with Epassy integralist between the goals to this point in the tournament, qualified for the quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Nations after last night's 2-1 win over South Africa. Les Lions Indomptables will play Morocco on January 9 at 10pm for a place in the penultimate act of the competition. Depending on the course of the team, Epassy could also be absent with Hermannstadt, even with Petrolul!
What matches are left to play in the Africa Cup of Nations:
Quarter 1: Mali – Senegal (January 9)

The small final: Lose Semi-Final 1 – Lose Semi-Final 2 (January 17)

After the end of the African Cup adventure, Epassy, who has conceded three goals in 4 matches so far, will have at least a week off from the “dogs” staff.
He already missed the last game of 2025 for the red-whites, the one lost in Arad, in the company of UTA, score 0-2. Consequently, just as it happened in the west of the country, Alex Roșca will defend in the first or first games of 2026.
Epassy has 14 matches at Dinamo in the Superliga, during which he scored 11 goals, kept the goal intact 7 times and made 28 saves.
