Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Cameroonian goalkeeper Andre Onana has finally spoken for the very first time after his exit from the national squad currently campaigning at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Onana who plays for Inter Milan is one of the best goalkeepers in the world considering his records and for the fact that he is holding the sticks for a big club in Europe.

However, things fell part before Cameroon's game against Serbia on Monday, 28 November, as head coach of the Indomitable Lions, Song, decided to drop Onana for the crucial duel.

According to multiple reports, the 26-year-old shot-stopper was dropped out entirely from the Cameroon squad due to disciplinary reasons.
