  WHAT SONG SAID

  The Cameroon manager said at a press conference: "I have no problem with my goalkeepers. They are all competitive and ready to respond when they need to play. There is no controversy. They get along very well."

• THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Onana was left out of the Cameroon team for the first game of the competition after he arrived at the national team's camp late, having been given permission to feature for United against Tottenham in the Premier League. The 27-year-old reacted angrily to being dropped and lashed out at the coaching staff.
