Andre Onana out: Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana has been suspended by the country’s national soccer organization. He too has resigned from the national team, and he is not expected to compete in the World Cup again.
According to a person close to the player, Onana left the team hotel on Tuesday and headed for the airport. It is believed that Milan, where he plays for Inter, will be his last destination.
Cameroon’s football association (Fecafoot) acted after Indomitable Lions manager Rigobert Song stated that starter Onana had requested not to play in the Indomitable Lions’ second Group G match, despite allegations of that the two had a fight in Qatar. . Onana is considered the team’s starting 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, Onana, the Inter Milan goalkeeper, was later “temporarily removed from the group for disciplinary reasons.”
Onana had started every game for the Central Africans this year until the game against Serbia. He had amassed 34 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 “all its support” as he implements measures “aimed at maintaining discipline, solidarity, complementarity and coherence with the selection”. ” Song was a member of the national team during Eto’o’s time as a teammate.

There are rumors that the goalkeeper and the coach argued because Onana was leaving his box too often.
In Thursday’s match against Switzerland, in which the United States lost 1-0, 26 of his 61 touches were outside the penalty area.
Yesterday, in the second round of the group stage, Cameroon was scheduled to play Serbia, but surprisingly, Onana was not included in the team’s squad for the match.
According to rumors that spread quickly, the 26-year-old’s position in the national team was terminated due to a disagreement with the team’s coach, Rigobert Song.
Later that same day, the Cameroon Football Association issued a statement saying that the Inter goalkeeper received a provisional suspension as a result of his behaviour.
Following the fight he had with Song and the president of the Cameroonian Football Association, Eto’o, Onana will not return at this time, The Gazzetta reported.
