Andre Onana faced intense scrutiny regarding his participation in the 2023 AFCON in Cote d'Ivoire.

The Manchester United goalkeeper is part of Cameroon's 27-man squad set to face Guinea in their first Group C game on January 15.

According to BBC, the shot-stopper returned to the national team back in September, months after he was suspended for 'disciplinary reasons' during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Despite the commencement of the Africa Cup of Nations, Onana received permission to postpone his return to Africa for international duty, as Manchester United reached an agreement with the Cameroonian FA.
