DOUALA:
Goalkeeper Andre Onana has pulled out of Cameroon’s World Cup qualifier against Libya on Tuesday after leaving the field injured when they beat Mauritius in their opening Group D match yesterday.

Onana has returned to Manchester United for treatment for an unspecified injury, the Cameroon Football Federation said today.

He looked to be struggling with his adductors when he went off with 10 minutes left in the 3-0 win over Mauritius in Douala but no details of his injury were given by the federation.

Several press reports said his decision to leave the match was a precautionary measure and that Onana should be able to play for Manchester United against Everton next Sunday.
