Cameroon stages World Cup comeback after dropping goalkeeper

Cameroon staged an impressive comeback in a 3-3 draw against Serbia at the World Cup despite dropping its goalkeeper at the last minute

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • Associated Press

Officially suspended by Cameroon Onana will be temporarily suspended by Cameroon ahead of Friday's matchup with Brazil.

Impact The announcement confirms what was already reported that Onana would be left out of the national team due to his criticism of coach Rigobert Song. With Onana out, Devis Epassy should feature in the starting XI against Brazil and possibly longer if Cameroon advances.

Andre Onana 'leaves World Cup' after Cameroon fall-out Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana has left their World Cup party having played just one group stage match.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Departing from World Cup Onana will leave Cameroon's national team setup after the coach excluded him from selection in Monday's draw with Serbia, according to Alberto Rubio of MARCA.

Impact While there is a chance Onana sticks around, it doesn't seem likely he will play again in this edition of the World Cup. He was criticized by coach Rigobert Song for risky play in goal and a dispute ended with Onana likely to be benched, so he's leaving entirely. Devis Epassy has since taken over as the starter for the Indomitable Lions.

Punished for argument with the coach Onana has been disciplined for clashing with coach Rigobert Strong about his goalkeeping style, Tuttomercatoweb informs.

Impact Onana is pretty capable with his feet and, therefore, pretty aggressive and daring. The gaffer reportedly asked to tone it down, which wasn't well received, leading to a skirmish and the ensuing punishment, despite the intercession of the Federation. The choice appears to be permanent, but more will be known in the next few days.

Ruled out for Serbia clash Onana has been excluded from the squad list for Monday's game versus Serbia due to disciplinary reasons, RMC Sport reports.

Impact Onana will sit out at least one game due to an undisclosed off-the-pitch incident that irked the coach, and it's not known yet whether the punishment will sideline him also for the final group stage game versus Brazil Friday. Devis Epassy is getting the start in this one.

After 1st-round defeats, Cameroon, Serbia need World Cup win

After losing their opening games Cameroon and Serbia need their best strikers on song when they meet in a must-win match at the World Cup on Monday

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • Associated Press

Allows one goal against Switzerland Onana had two saves and conceded once in Thursday's 0-1 loss versus Switzerland.

Impact Onana couldn't catch a close-range finish by Breel Embolo early in the second half, while he parried away a similar effort by Ruben Vargas late in the game. He has surrendered 16 goals, made 45 saves, and kept five clean sheets in 13 matches with Inter. Cameroon will take on Serbia Sunday.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes twice versus Atalanta Onana had five saves and allowed two goals in Sunday's 3-2 win over Atalanta.

Impact Onana was beaten twice from point-blank range and actually kept his team afloat in the first half with a few superb saves. It's unclear whether Samir Handanovic (finger) could have featured in the final few fixtures, as he made the bench even when he was unavailable, but he's been excellent when called upon and is set to keep starting after the break, hoping his defense tightens up. He has allowed 16 goals, made 56 saves, and kept five clean sheets across 13 appearances. Inter will host Inter on January 4.

NOVEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Beaten once against Bologna Onana made three saves and conceded one goal during Wednesday's 6-1 win over Bologna.

Impact Onana started his 10th consecutive game in all competitions and did a decent job here. He was betrayed by a deflection on the lone goal scored by the opposition in the 22nd minute but other than that showed the safety that made him winning the competition against club captain Samir Handanovic for the starting spot. The goalkeeper started this sequence of starts with four clean sheets over the first seven matches but has now five goals allowed over the last three.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes twice versus Juventus Onana had one save and allowed two goals in Sunday's 0-2 loss to Juventus.

Impact Onana couldn't catch Adrien Rabiot's crafty finish and a deflected shot by Nicolo Fagioli, while he had a stellar save on a cross-shot by Filip Kostic. He has blanked the opponents three times in the last six matches, surrendering seven goals and making 15 saves. Inter will host Bologna Wednesday.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows two goals versus Bayern Munich Onana had six saves and conceded two goals in Tuesday's 0-2 loss to Bayern Munich.

Impact Onana had strong volume as the opponents overwhelmed his defense, but he looked sloppy at times, even though he wasn't at fault for the two goals. He has kept three clean sheets, surrendered five goals, and made 14 saves in the last five matches. Inter will face Juventus away Sunday.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Blanks Sampdoria in win Onana made three saves while maintaining a clean sheet during Saturday's 3-0 victory over Sampdoria.

Impact As the score line would suggest here, Onana wasn't terribly troubled for most of Saturday's matchup and only needed to make a handful of routine stops. That said, it's the veteran keeper's second clean sheet in as many competitions, and he will need to demonstrate similarly fine form if Milan hope to obtain a result Tuesday at Bayern Munich in the UCL.

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet versus Viktoria Plzen Onana had one save, one clearance, and one punch while blanking Viktoria Plzen in Wednesday's 4-0 win.

Impact Onana wasn't asked to intervene much as Inter breezed past the lowly opponents in this one. He has been pretty convincing in his six straight starts, and Samir Handanovic is currently nursing a finger injury. He has allowed seven goals, kept three clean sheets, and made 16 saves in the recent stretch. Inter will host Sampdoria Saturday.

OCTOBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes three in win Onana allowed three goals while making a save during Saturday's 4-3 win over Fiorentina.

Impact Onana allowed a goal in the first half and two in the second as Inter needed to find a late game winner to take all three points. The keeper has now allowed four goals in three league starts while his lone save upped his season total to six.

OCTOBER 22, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Three saves in clean sheet Onana kept a clean sheet while making three saves during Sunday's 2-0 win over Salernitana.

Impact Onana helped Inter claim all three points by shutting out Salernitana on Sunday. The clean sheet was the first in two league starts for the keeper while his three saves upped his season total to five.

OCTOBER 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes three in draw Onana conceded three goals and made seven saves during Wednesday's 3-3 draw with Barcelona.

Impact Onana showed a few signs of cracking under the pressure of a tough matchup but still did well to give his side a chance of taking a point home. While Onana opened the season on the bench, he could be taking over for the struggling Samir Handanovic after starting in three straight games. This is one trend to watch for Onana if he confirms his status as the full-time starter before the World Cup break.

OCTOBER 12, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes once against Sassuolo Onana had two saves and allowed one goal in Saturday's 2-1 win over Sassuolo.

Impact Onana drew his first start in Serie A and, while he could do little on the Davide Frattesi goal, he answered the bell when he could. He might have surpassed Samir Handanovic, although the coach hasn't formally announced it yet. He has surrendered two goals, made 13 saves, and kept two clean sheets in three games so far. Inter will face Barcelona away in Champions League Wednesday and then host Salernitana next Sunday.

OCTOBER 8, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up another UCL shutout Onana kept a clean sheet with two saves made during Tuesday's 1-0 win over Barcelona.

Impact Onana has kept clean sheets in two of his three UCL starts this season, though he did benefit from some favorable calls by the referees to avoid further damages. While Samir Handanovic continues to struggle in Serie A contests, all Onana can do is play when called upon and wait for his chance as he's done well so far.

OCTOBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Keeps clean sheet against Viktoria Plzen Onana had one save while blanking Viktoria Plzen in Tuesday's 2-0 win.

Impact Onana was much less busy compared to his previous showing against Bayern Munich and had to make just one good save late in the game. It looks like he will mostly be used in Champions League, as Samir Handanovic bounced back in the recent Serie A contest, delaying a potential permanent switch between the sticks.

SEPTEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Transfers to Inter Onana moved to Inter Milan from Ajax on a free transfer Friday.

Impact Onana will likely find himself sitting behind Samir Handanovic as the No. 2 option for Inter but could grab the occasional start in various non-league competitions. Still, Onana could challenge for move opportunities and could be the heir apparent for the club in the future.

JULY 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Concedes goal against Benfica Onana made zero saves and conceded a goal in Tuesday's 1-0 Champions League Round of 16 defeat against Benfica.

Impact Onana got the start between the posts Tuesday with Remko Pasveer out with a thumb injury, but he was beaten by a Darwin Nunez header from a set piece as his side were bounced out of the Champions League.

MARCH 16, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Remains on bench versus Benfica Onana was an unused sub in Wednesday's 2-2 draw to Benfica.

Impact Onana has now remained on the bench in second straight UCL outing after his return to health. He's not a factor in domestic competitions either and won't hold much fantasy upside for the remainder of the season.
