Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has been recalled by the Cameroon national team for their upcoming fixtures.

He has impressed with his distribution between the sticks, and made several crucial saves against Wolves at Old Trafford.

But ahead of their opening game of the tournament against Serbia, the goalkeeper had a dispute with manager Rigobert Song and played no part in the fixture.Onana subsequently left the tournament, and posted a statement on his Twitter account which confirmed he would no longer play for the Cameroon national team.
However, he has now been recalled to the squad.On Tuesday morning, the national team's social media account posted the official squad for Cameroon's upcoming AFCON qualifying fixture against Burundi.

Erik ten Hag's side play four matches during that time, starting with a crunch fixture against Tottenham at Old Trafford.
They then face Wolves at Molineux, before they host West Ham and travel to Aston Villa to complete their programme of games during AFCON.
