In a crucial match for Cameroon's Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) campaign, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been dropped from the starting lineup. Cameroon, needing a win to stay in contention for AFCON, is also dependent on Senegal defeating Guinea.
Manager Rigobert Song has opted to start Fabrice Ondoa, Onana’s cousin, in goal for this vital clash. This decision follows Cameroon's disappointing 3-1 loss to Senegal, where all three shots on target against Onana ended up in the net, including a late goal by Sadio Mane.
Onana's journey to AFCON faced challenges as he arrived late due to a Premier League commitment with Manchester United. His delayed arrival and subsequent performance have led to questions about his inclusion in the squad.
Cameroon's AFCON campaign has fallen short of expectations, with a draw against Guinea and the recent loss to Senegal, leaving them with just one point from two games. The team now faces a must-win situation against Gambia to advance to the knockout stage.
