Onana's AFCON 2023 Debut: A Tight Schedule Ahead
The story involving André Onana, the goalkeeper for the Cameroon national team and Manchester United, continues to unfold, adding a new chapter to this saga: he will join the rest of the team on the same day Cameroon makes its debut in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Manchester United has communicated that they have received permission from the team led by Rigobert Song to have the goalkeeper for the Red Devils' match against Tottenham in the Premier League, scheduled for January 14, yes, one day before Cameroon's match against Guinea.
The 27-year-old goalkeeper will travel one day after the match, and there is a strong possibility that Onana will play in the Lions' debut, allowing the goalkeeper to participate in two matches on two consecutive days and on two different continents!
Despite the incredible distance of 7,890 kilometers between Ivory Coast (the venue for AFCON 2023) and Manchester, the time zone is the same, so there won't be any issues for the player in that regard.
