Onana also released a statement yesterday referring to his dispute with Cameroon coach Rigobert Song over team tactics that led to him being dropped for Cameroon's 3-3 draw with Serbia on Monday and suspended from the team.
Cameroon still have a chance of qualifying for the last 16 at the World Cup but need to beat top-ranked Brazil in their final Group G game and hope that the result of the Switzerland-Serbia match goes in their favour.
In his statement, Onana said he was disappointed that he was “not allowed” to be with the team at the Serbia game and denied that he had broken any squad disciplinary rules.
Onana said he respected the decisions “of the people in charge”.
Onana said he had tried to resolve the issues.
Song said he needed all his players to “show discipline and respect”.
Song said it was a risk to play with reserve goalkeeper Devis Epassy but insisted he had to take “strong action” against the 26-year-old Onana.
A photo posted by a Cameroonian journalist on social med 2022世界杯法国夺冠打破魔咒 ia showed the Inter Milan goalkeeper at the airport in Doha and about to leave Qatar. The Cameroon team spokesman did not immediately answer calls seeking comment.
“I have put all my efforts and energy into finding solutions to a situation that a footballer often experiences, but there ha 世界杯足球 s been no will on the other side,” Onana said.
Onana had played in Cameroon's opening game at the World Cup, a 1-0 loss to Switzerland, but was dropped for the Serbia game and didn't travel with the rest of the squad to Al Janoub Stadium.
Cameroon fought back from 3-1 down to draw 3-3 without their No. 1 goalkeeper.
Song is a former captain of Cameroon who was appointed coach in February in a surprise to some after Toni Conceicao guided the team to third place at this year's African Nations Cup and only missed reaching the final in a penalty shootout loss to Egypt.
“Some moments are difficult to assimilate.”
“I always behaved in a way to lead the team to success in a good manner,” Onana said.
