Eight months after ending his career as an international football player, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been included in the Cameroon squad for their next match.

After the World Cup in Qatar last year, the 27-year-old called it quits on representing his country after a falling out with manager Rigobert Song.

Onana made his 34th international start for Cameroon in their opening loss to Switzerland, but was benched for the team’s subsequent draw with Serbia due to a disagreement with his manager’s strategy.

Before his country’s last group match, in which they defeated Brazil but were unable to advance to the tournament’s knockout rounds, the goalie was kicked out.

Onana has been nominated to a 24-man squad for the forthcoming encounter against Burundi after not been named to an international team since his retirement.

On September 12, Cameroon will play Burundi in their last African Cup of Nations qualifying match. To advance to the championship game, Cameroon must win.

In advance of the rescheduled African Cup of Nations competition in Ivory Coast the following year, Onana’s potential return to international service may be a setback for United.

Onana may miss a few games early in the following season if Cameroon is successful in qualifying for the competition, which runs from January 13 to February 11.
