Cameroon keeper Andre Onana has broken his silence on being kicked out of the World Cup.
Onana paid the price for a blazing row with coach Rigobert Song and was dropped for the 3-3 draw with Serbia. Now he has insisted he did all he could to make his peace with Song as Cameroon face a make-or-break clash with Brazil on Friday that they must win to have any chance of reaching the last 16.
Onana, the 26-year-old who plays for Italian giants Inter Milan, said: “I put all my efforts and my energy into unravelling the situation, but I did not get the reception I expected. I want to express my affection for my country and the Indomitable Lions.
