Arriving at the den of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon for the AFCON 2023 this Monday, Andr\u00e9 Onana did not play against Guinea Conakry. After his team’s challenging encounter, the Manchester United goalkeeper spoke to the press.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cameroon is causing a lot of buzz in the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations. In the group of death alongside Senegal’s Lions of Teranga, Gambia, and Guinea Conakry, the Cameroonians are capturing attention. With discussions already underway before the start of the 2023 AFCON, amid controversies related to the coach and players selected for the competition, Cameroon didn’t kick off the competition well this Monday against Guinea. At the center of discussions before this match, Andr\u00e9 Onana, the team’s number 1 goalkeeper, opened up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Onana’s explosive situation in the selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having missed his team’s preparation to play with his club Manchester United in England, Andr\u00e9 Onana finally rejoined the Indomitable Lions a few hours before the match against Guinea. Directly boarding a plane after the United and Tottenham match on Sunday, the former Inter Milan goalkeeper arrived in Abidjan early in the morning. While he was supposed to land directly in Yamoussoukro, where the Cameroonians play in Group C, he couldn’t due to the weather at the local airport.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After numerous adventures, the star of the Indomitable Lions joined Rigobert Song’s group for the AFCON 2023. Although he was expected to be in goal as announced in the agreement between him and FECAFOOT that allowed him to stay at Manchester United until the eve of Cameroon’s first match, Andr\u00e9 Onana did not play. While his teammates stepped onto the Yamoussoukro pitch to face Guinea, the 27-year-old goalkeeper was seen in the stadium tunnels in a discussion with Senegalese legend El Hadji Diouf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
