FORMER Arsenal and Manchester City striker, Emmanuel Adebayo has slammed Cameroon goalkeeper for disrespecting his national team and AFCON supporters.
Recall that Andre Onana arrived late in camp for the 2023 AFCON competition due to an agreement that Cameroon's football body had with Manchester United before the start of the competition.
This resulted in Andre Onana arriving at camp the day Cameroon played Guinea, which ended in a 1-1 draw as the shot-stopper was forced to watch from the sidelines.
Adebayo, speaking with Sports News Africa, was not happy with the player's decision to join the squad the day of the fixture as he believes it was a big disrespect to AFCON supporters and the national team.
“He [Andre Onana] did not respect Cameroon. I was a player like him, and even being the most important player in my selection, I never acted in this way [arriving on the day of the match].
“The fact that this situation is happening shows that there is a problem, perhaps even within the federation.
“He risks losing big because he has alienated the Cameroonian supporters, as well as many African supporters and undoubtedly certain members of the team,” he said.
Hopefully, the shot-stopper can make amend provided he is allowed to stand in goal when Cameroon plays defending champion, Senegal on Friday.
