The Cameroonian Football Federation has issued a statement after they expelled a star member of their 2022 FIFA World Cup squad, revealing why such drastic measures were taken.

On Monday, ahead of the Indomitable Lions' 3-3 draw with Serbia, rumours spread that Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana had been left out of the matchday squad following a fallout with head coach Rigobert Song.
It later emerged that the 26-year-old was to be sent home from the World Cup altogether, with it suggested that he and Song had been involved in a disagreement this past weekend over his goalkeeping style.
Cameroon's football governing body has since confirmed the news, insisting they are committed to maintaining a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere in the dressing room as they seek to achieve their goals.
"The Cameroon Football Federation hereby informs the public that following Mr. Rigobert Song Bahanag's decision, Head Coach of the Indomitable Lions, the player Andre Onana has been temporarily suspended from the group for disciplinary reasons," a statement from the organisation read.
"The Cameroon Football Federation reiterates its full support to the Head Coach and his entire staff as they implement the Federation's policy aimed at preserving discipline, solidarity, complementarity and cohesion within the national team.
"FECAFOOT further reaffirms its commitment to create a peaceful atmosphere for the team and to provide them with adequate facilities for an outstanding performance."
