THE BIGGER PICTURE
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.
GettyDID YOU KNOW?
There are chances that Onana will not miss a single match for Erik Ten Hag's side if Camerron get knocked out of the group stages. They play their last group game against Gambia on January 23 while United do not play again till January 28 in the fourth round of the FA Cup. However, if Cameroon do make it to the final, Onana will likely miss four games for the Red Devils.
WHAT NEXT FOR ONANA?
Onana will not be in action for Cameroon later on Wednesday when they take on Guinea at 5 pm GMT, however, he is very likely to start for his nation when they take on Senegal on January 19.
