Manchester United goalkeeper was once again dropped by coach Rigobert Song as Cameroon were beaten 2-0 by Nigeria in the Round of 16 of the Africa Cup of Nation.
Rigobert Song refuted rumours of a rift with Andre Onana before the match, emphasising that decisions are made for the team’s benefit.
Onana missed the opening Africa Cup of Nations match due to travel woes and was dropped as Cameroon secured a 3-2 victory over Gambia.
The United goalkeeper faced competition from his cousin, Fabrice Ondoa, who started in goal for both previous matches and was poor for both goals against the Super Eagles.
Onana now returns to Manchester United and one would assume he would retire one again from international duty. The former Inter Milan shot stopper withdrew from the 2022 World Cup squad, retiring from international duty after a reported falling out with Song.
This time round, a rumoured rift with Fecafoot President and Cameroonian legend Samuel Eto’o contributed to his little involvement at the tournament. His only appearance came against Senegal where he shipped three goals and failed to make a single save.
