Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana has announced his retirement from international football a month after a fallout with national team coach Rigobert Song at the World Cup in Qatar.
Inter Milan gloveman Onana, 26, did not give specific reasons for his decision, saying only his "story with the Cameroonian national team has come to an end".
"Players come and go, names are fleeting, but Cameroon comes before any player or person," Onana said on Friday.
"Cameroon remains eternal, as does my love for the national team and for our people, who have always supported us no matter how difficult the moment was."
