The Manchester United goalkeeper's omission from the matchday squad follows a history of disputes with coach Rigobert Song.
- Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was left out of Cameroon's AFCON 2023 opener against Guinea, despite making a 5000-mile dash to the match in his private jet.
- Onana's arrival was delayed due to inclement weather, but he still arrived three hours before the match, only to be left out of the squad by coach Rigobert Song.
- Onana has had a difficult relationship with Song, having been sent home from the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar following a dispute.
- Onana has had a challenging debut season with Manchester United, keeping nine clean sheets in 30 games and conceding 47 goals.
- It remains to be seen if Onana will feature in Cameroon's next game against Senegal on Friday, January 19.
