Reacting to the development, the Inter Milan goalkeeper said his country remains dear to him
The Statement reads:
“I want to express my affection for my country and the national team. Yesterday I was not allowed to be on ground to help Cameroon, as I always do, to achieve the team’s goal. I always behave in a way to lead the team to succes in a good manner.
I have put all my efforts and energy into finding solutions to a situation that a footballer often experience, but there has been no will on the other side. So minutes are difficult to assimilate. However I always respect and support the decision of people in charge of pursuing the success of our team and country.
I extend all my strength to my teammate because we demonstrated that we are capable of going very far in this competition.
The values that I promoted as a person and as a player are the ones that identify me and that my family has given me since my childhood. Representing Cameroon has always been a privilege the nation first and forever.” he said.
Onana featured in Cameroon’s first match of the World Cup where the team lost 1 nil to Switzerland. They also played out a 3-3 draw with Serbia on Monday, although with their second choice goalkeeper, Devis Epassy standing in between sticks.
“Following Rigobert Song’s decision, Andre Onana has been temporarily suspended from the group for disciplinary reasons,” a statement from Cameroon football authority reads on Monday
