Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>According to a source close to Andre\u0301 Onana, the Cameroonian goalkeeper could announce his international retirement in the coming days.<\/p>\n

The development comes at a time of heightened tension around the Indomitable Lions camp, with recent debates over squad selection, leadership, and the broader direction of the national team. Onana, who has been a central figure for Cameroon in recent years, has experienced both triumphs and controversies in his international journey, including his suspension during the 2022 World Cup and various disagreements between FECAFOOT and the coaching hierarchy.<\/p>\n

If confirmed, Onana\u2019s retirement would mark the end of an era for one of Cameroon\u2019s most accomplished modern goalkeepers. His potential departure would also raise questions about the future of Cameroon\u2019s goalkeeping department, especially with AFCON preparations and major competitions ahead.<\/p>\n

For now, fans and analysts alike await an official statement from the player, whose next words could significantly shape the immediate future of the national team.<\/p>\n
