Atouba The Latest To Go AWOL (15.02.2008)
After Yakubu failed to show up at Everton following Nigeria`s exit from the Africa Cup of Nations, the same fate has now hit Hamburg as Cameroon international Thimothée has gone missing.
German side Hamburger SV are preparing to face FC Zürich in the Uefa Cup tonight, but boss Huub Stevens has been left fuming by defender Thimothée Atouba`s failure to report for duty.
The Cameroon international played in Sunday`s Africa Cup of Nations final as his side lost 1-0 to Egypt.
Mohamed Zidan, who played in the same game but was on the winning side, has already returned to Germany, as has Cameroon teammate and VfL Bochum star Joel Epalle.
Nobody Home
"We haven`t heard anything from him for days," ranted Stevens. "We`ve sent text messages and tried to call him," he revealed, adding that the club keep being put through to answerphone.

Bild are reporting that the former Tottenham defender defied orders to return directly from the tournament in Ghana to Hamburg, instead returning to his home country.
Heading For An Exit?
Stevens and the HSV board are said to be at the end of their teather with Atouba, who appears to have little respect for rules or discipline. Last season he gave Hamburg fans the finger after being sent off during a match and had to be sent home from a winter training camp by ex-coach Thomas Doll for refusing to take part in fitness sessions.
Stevens has proved in the past that he will not suffer fools, as witnessed by his banishing of problem striker Danijel Ljuboja to the reserves and the same fate - as well as a summer exit - could now await Atouba. Either way, the Cameroon international can certainly expect to receive a heavy fine.
