Onana gives an official statement upon his departure from Cameroon for the World Cup.
Inter goalkeeper André Onana has released an official statement after leaving Cameroon at the World Cup claiming that put his ‘efforts and energy into finding solutions to a situation that a footballer often experiences’ but found ‘no will on the other side.’
The Cameroonian international is taking a flight back home after being left off the squad for Monday’s World Cup match against Uruguay.
Onana is returning home from Qatar, according to a Tuesday morning report from Gazzetta, after his national team opted to temporarily suspend him for disciplinary reasons.

In a statement posted to his social media page, Onana clarified the matter from his point of view.
Onana could have been reinstated to the team if he had adjusted his attitude and adhered to the rules, according to Cameroon coach Rigobert Song on Monday.
Onana, 26, made the decision to leave the team and go back to his native country, though the rift between him and his national team coach is said to be “irreparable.”

Cameroon have one point after two games in Group G and has little chance of qualifying for the Round of 16 given that they need to beat Brazil in the final match of the group phase on Friday.
