The African Cup of Nations turned into a fiasco for André Onana, who was relegated to the bench for the 3rd day meeting between Cameroon and Gambia.
Like Ivory Coast, on a favorable ballot in the race for the round of 16, or Ghana, already eliminated, Cameroon is one of the big names in African football who are in difficulty in this CAN.
The Indomitable Lions have only taken one point in two matches so far. First held by Guinea (1-1), Rigobert Song’s men were then beaten by Senegal (3-1) during the shock of the 2nd day. They are now obliged to win this Tuesday against Gambia, because a draw would probably not be enough to finish among the best thirds.
For this meeting, the Cameroonian coach made the decision to relegate André Onana to the bench. This CAN is definitely turning into a disaster for the Manchester United goalkeeper, who missed the first match (so as not to miss the duel against Tottenham with the Red Devils), before taking three for his return to the selection against Senegal . It is Fabrice Ondoa (Nîmes) who is lined up for this decisive match.
The official composition of Cameroon: Ondoa – Castelletto, Wooh, Nouhou – Tchato, Ntcham, Anguissa, Yongwa – Toko Ekambi, Magri, Nkoudou.
