Ajax goalkeeper André Onana, who tested positive for coronavirus in a PCR done this Thursday morning at the concentration of the Cameroon team, has tested negative on a second test hours later. “I'm home back. They have made me the test and I have given negative ”, said the goalkeeper, who was part of the lower categories of Barcelona, in his verified Instagram account.
“Thanks for all the kind messages,” added the goalkeeper, who will return to Amsterdam this Friday to train with the Ajax squad. Onana was scheduled to participate in the friendly that Cameroon will play this Friday against Japan in Utrecht, but the medical team of his selection announced this Thursday that both Onana and midfielder Pierre Kundé had tested positive for coronavirus.
As a consequence, footballers Moumi Ngamaleu and Moumi Ngamaleu were quarantined, leaving Cameroon with only 17 troops for Friday's game.
The first news of the contagion of Onana was received with surprise at Ajax, as the goalkeeper was one of the thirteen affected by the COVID-19 outbreak that the club suffered in early August, reported the most widely read newspaper in the Netherlands, De Telegraaf.
