According to The Daily Mail, Onana will sit out the Group C match against Guinea in Yamoussoukro after spending seven hours in the air from Manchester. It is anticipated that his distant cousin Fabrice Ondoa, a player for Nimes in the French third tier, would start in goal for the game. In their group, Cameroon - coached by former West Ham and Liverpool star Rigobert Song - will play Guinea, Senegal, and Gambia in the group stage.
