Andre Onana Exit: Cameroon’s goalkeeper, Andre Onana, has been suspended by the country’s national football organization. He has also resigned from the team, and it is not anticipated that he will compete in the World Cup again.
According to a person who is close to the player, Andre Onana checked out of the team hotel on Tuesday and made his way to the airport. It is believed that Milan, where he plays for Inter, will be his ultimate destination.
Cameroon’s football association (Fecafoot) acted after the Indomitable Lions’ coach, Rigobert Song, stated that established first-choice Andre Onana had requested not to play in the Indomitable Lions’ second Group G match, despite allegations that the two had a falling out in Qatar. Onana is considered to be the team’s first-choice player.
The 26-year-old was replaced by Devis Epassy during Monday’s match against Serbia, which ended in a 3-3 draw, although his name was not listed among the replacements.

According to a statement released by Fecafoot, Andre Onana, the goalie for Inter Milan, was later “temporarily removed from the group for disciplinary concerns.” Andre Onana had started every game for the Central Africans this year up until the match against Serbia. He had accumulated 34 international caps before being benched for that match.
Song’s former teammate Samuel Eto’o is now in charge of Fecafoot, which has offered the 46-year-old coach “its entire support” as he implements measures “aimed at maintaining discipline, solidarity, complementarity, and coherence with the national squad.” Alex Song was a member of the national squad during Samuel Eto’o’s time as a teammate.
Goalie for Inter Was Given a Provisional Suspension as a Result of His Behaviour
There are rumours going around that the goalkeeper and the coach got into an argument about Onana leaving his penalty area too frequently.
In Thursday’s match against Switzerland, in which the United States lost 1-0, 26 of his 61 touches of the ball happened outside of the penalty area. Yesterday, in the second round of the group stage, Cameroon was scheduled to play Serbia, but surprisingly, Andre Onana was not included in the team’s squad for the match.
According to quickly spreading rumours, the 26-year-old player’s position on the national team was terminated due to a disagreement with the team’s coach, Rigobert Song. Later in the day, the Cameroonian Football Association released a statement saying that the goalie for Inter was given a provisional suspension as a result of his behaviour.
As a result of the fight he had with Song and the President of the Cameroonian Football Association, Eto’o, Andre Onana will not be returning at this time, as reported by The Gazzetta.
