Cameroon lost 0-2 to Nigeria in the last 16 of the African Cup of Nations in the early hours of Sunday morning (28th), and goalkeeper Oonana, who continues to sit on the bench in this match, can return to Manchester United early. Onana has only played one match in this year's African Cup of Nations, but has not missed any Premier League matches. He will be available for United's league match against Wolves in the early hours of Friday (2).
Onana was late in returning to the team one day before the start of the African Cup of Nations, and was kicked out of the team list for the first match of the group stage. In the second match against Senegal, Onana conceded three goals and lost the match, and was dropped from the team for the last match. Cameroon's cousin, Odoya, continued to be the gatekeeper for the match against Nigeria, but the Nigerian striker scored a goal in the first and second halves, resulting in a 0-2 loss for Cameroon.
