Cameroon FA Releases Statement Over Onana’s Suspension From Indomitable Lions Squad

Cameroon Football Federation (FECAFOOT) has confirmed that first choice goalkeeper Andre Onana has been suspended from the Indomitable Lions squad due to disciplinary issue.

Onana played the full 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Switzerland and had been expected to feature in Monday’s clash with Serbia, only for numerous reports to claim that the Inter stopper had been banished from the squad.

Some reports stated that Onana had been dropped due to clash of opinion on tactics with head coach Rigobert Song.
