<\/div>\nAndre Onana has confirmed his return to international football with Cameroon, despite having faced what he calls \u201cinjustice and manipulation\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Manchester United goalkeeper\u00a0is back in the Indomitable Lions squad\u00a0for next week\u2019s final Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Burundi in Garoua.<\/p>\n
Onana\u2019s shock inclusion comes nine months after he was\u00a0suspended by his country\u2019s football federation\u00a0during the 2022 World Cup for \u201cdisciplinary reasons\u201d, thought to stem from a falling-out with Cameroon coach Rigobert Song.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 27-year-old\u00a0announced his international retirement\u00a0shortly after the incident.<\/p>\n
In a\u00a0social media post\u00a0on Monday, Onana talked of his \u201cunwavering love and attachment\u201d to his homeland, but hinted at unhappiness with how things have played out since the World Cup in Qatar.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn the world of football, just like in life, defining moments arise, requiring crucial choices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn recent months, I have been confronted with ordeals marked by injustice and manipulation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI answer the call of my nation with an unshakeable certainty, aware that my return is not only to honour my dream but also to meet the expectation and support of Cameroonians who deserve a national team determined to shine.\u201d<\/p>\n
Onana and his teammates\u00a0need at least a draw\u00a0against Burundi to claim a place at January\u2019s Nations Cup in Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
If Cameroon do qualify and include Onana in their Afcon squad, he could miss a number of matches for United, who have started the new Premier League season with two wins and two defeats from their first four games.<\/p>\n
The finals take place between 13 January and 11 February 2024.<\/p>\n
