Cameroon coach Winfried Schaefer has announced that Lauren is set to return to the international scene.
Having previously won the African Nations Cup and an Olympic gold medal, our 27-year-old right back retired from international football after a disappointing 2002 World Cup and chose to focus solely on his Arsenal career.
Lauren decided to make a U-turn on his decision after Schaefer met with him in London and convinced him to change hs mind.
‘I am happy that he has accepted to come back because he is a talented boy and one of the players who we can count on,’ Schaefer told the Cameroon Tribune.
Lauren is in the frame to play an international friendly against Bulgaria next week.
