Andre Onana BENCHED! Cameroon make bold decision to omit Man Utd star from starting XI ahead of must-win AFCON clash with The Gambia

Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

Cameroon

Zimbabwe

Cameroon currently sit third in Group C with one point and must win to have any hope of finishing in the top two spots. However, their destiny is not entirely in their own hands, as they must also hope Guinea, in second, lose to Senegal.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Onana has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/revealed-man-utd-chartered-private-jet-whisk-andre-onana-afcon-mystery-tournament-opener-omission/blt6cdf707a39007087" target="_blank">flown directly from Manchester to the AFCON</a>, with the club even chartering a private jet to whisk him to the competition, but he was absent from the first game of the tournament, and was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-come-private-jet-man-utd-goalkeeper-andre-onana-fuming-cameroon-afcon-snub-liverpool-el-hadji-diouf-calm-down/bltd777c1f9142b6c98" target="_blank">left fuming despite arriving in time to play</a>.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Onana is an experienced campaigner with 37 caps to his name. His replacement for Tuesday's game, Fabrice Ondoa has 49 caps, but plays his football in the French third-tier with Nimes Olympique, and is actually Onana's cousin.

DID YOU KNOW?

His omission is likely to be a severe blow to the goalkeeper's confidence. He has struggled internationally and domestically, making a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/watch-andre-onana-reacts-manchester-united-draw-galatasaray-champions-league/blt5cb125490ff4c5d3" target="_blank">catalogue of mistakes</a> during his time with United under Erik ten Hag.
