Goalkeeper Andre Onana has been removed from Cameroon's World Cup squad for 'disciplinary reasons' ahead of their clash with Serbia on Monday.

The Inter Milan star's dismissal is believed to have come after a shouting match with manager Rigobert Song over the keeper's style of play.

He will be replaced by Devis Epassy in goal, who plays his club football for Abha in Saudi Arabia and has made just five international appearances.

The game is a vital one in Cameroon's tournament, as a loss would leave them needing Switzerland to beat Brazil to have any chance of reaching the knockout stage.

While the exact cause of Onana's dismissal is not known, it is believed to have come after an argument with manager Rigobert Song over the team's tactics.

According to reports from Helena Condis Edo, Onana sees his relationship with the team as 'irreversible' despite attempts from Cameroon Football Federation president, and legendary striker, Samuel Eto'o to mediate peace talks.

Marca claim the argument came after Song shouted at the keeper during training for taking too many risks playing with his feet, and Onana refused to change his game.

Onana's dismissal means he will miss out on a reunion with his former Ajax teammate Dusan Tadic, who could be a key player in the game as he looks to feed Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Cameroon keeper played with Tadic in Holland for four years before leaving for Inter Milan over the summer, where he has struggled to secure regular football.

Sources report to ESPN that Onana will most likely leave the World Cup. The 26-year-old goalkeeper had a disagreement with the national coach. For example, he is dissatisfied with the defensive style of play.

That's the problem with some of these players. Once they attain little success they think they are bigger than their national team coaches.

In their match against Switzerland, I noticed him coming to the centre of the pitch and playing with his legs. I even felt it was risky too.

That is modern football goalkeeping. It is called sweeper's role...

Pep guardiola won't go for you if you're not good in using your feet; sweeper's role

Infact that's the sole reason pep guardiola sold Joe Hart for Bravo in man city

Thank you!
Pep sent Joe Hart away because he couldn't play to instructions. Same way Onana had to leave since he can't obey his coach.

Noted.
