Onana, the United goalkeeper, found himself in a dispute with Cameroon Football Federation president Eto’o, leading to his exclusion from the starting XI for Cameroon’s important 3-2 win over Gambia. Upset over the conflict, Onana contemplated leaving the tournament to return to Manchester, but ultimately decided to prioritize the Cameroon team over personal differences and remained with the squad.
Despite rejoining the Cameroon team and playing in a 3-1 defeat to Senegal, Onana was held responsible for two goals and subsequently dropped for the crucial final group game against Gambia. Following his initial withdrawal from international football, Onana reversed his decision and rejoined the Cameroon set-up during the final stages of AFCON qualification.
