Andrew Onan already removed from World Cup 2022 Before Cameroon eliminated. He goes home and enjoys his free time playing soccer with the kids.
As GOAL and Corriere dello Sport reported, Onana played football on Cameroon’s clay pitch last weekend with a number of people looking younger than him. He plays as a winger, not as a goalkeeper.
The activity was carried out to fill free time before returning to Milan this week to continue training together Inter Milan. He had a “quicker” vacation than other Cameroonians at the 2022 World Cup.
As is known, Onana was Cameroon’s main goalkeeper at the 2022 World Cup in their first match against Switzerland, but his name disappeared from the squad when he met Serbia four days later. Apparently, he was frozen due to the “dispute” with coach Rigobert Song.
Onana reportedly declined to play a more traditional goalkeeper role, instead stepping forward as a sweeper to assist attacks. As a graduate of Barcelona and Ajax Amsterdam, he usually did, even against Switzerland.
As a result, Song decided to replace Onana with Devis Epassy in his next two matches against Serbia and Brazil. Without Onana, Cameroon managed to draw against Serbia 3-3 and beat Brazil 1-0, but still failed to advance to the round of 16.

According to Song, it was Onana himself who later declared his resignation from the Cameroon team. In his clarification of him, Onana did not deny it, but emphasized that he made every effort to resolve the existing problems.
