Just In: Onana Confirms Team ‘Selection Battle’ With Song In Official Release

Andre Onana has written to the Cameroonian public explaining the reason for which he was sacked by the Cameroon Football Federation from camp, on Monday Nov. 28.

For starters, Andre Onana was surprisingly dropped from the Cameroon-Serbia fixture at the nick of time and was left behind at the Lions’ base (Banyam Tree hotel in Qatar).

Sportglitz.com learned that the shot-stopper was not at ease with the team the manager picked against Serbia vis-a-vis the 1-0 defeat earlier suffered against Switzerland. The reports have now been confirmed by the 26-year-old in a statement he released: ‘I have put all my efforts and energy into finding solutions to a problem that a footballer often experiences, but there has been no will from the other side.

‘Some moments are difficult to assimilate. However, I always respect and support the decisions of the people in charge of pursuing the success of our team and country.’ An excerpt from Onana’s statement reads.

FECAFOOT’S suspension of the player was made official on Monday evening, and the time of his suspension remains indefinite.

The goal-guard was spotted this morning at the airport as he is expected to join his club side Inter Milan, and continue preparations for the season.

Onana was between the sticks for his world cup debut against Switzerland and put up a record number of passes for a goalkeeper (61) including 26 of those out of his area.

Davies Epassy of Abha in Saudi Arabia will therefore guard goal against Serbia at 11 am local time.

Even though the former Ajax man has never been far from controversy with the Indomitable Lions, this comes in as a huge shocker. The keeper was banned for 9 months by UEFA last year.

With the national team, the Ngok native aged 26 denied representing Cameroon at the 2017 AFCON after making his debut in 2016, as he preferred to cement his place as number 1 at Ajax.

He however made his return since then and was first choice in 2019 when Cameroon played the AFCON in Egypt, as well as in this year’s AFCON finals. Onana has 35 appearances for the Cameroon. It is difficult to see where the indomitable Lions go from here, given the lad’s quality.
