Andre Onana is allowed to train again on Saturday 4 September. His suspension is over two months later, but the chance seems nil that he will play matches in the Johan Cruijff ArenA. The goalkeeper must first join Jong Ajax. Incidentally, a return to the main force is still an option, but it starts at the bottom of the pecking order.

The team from Amsterdam brought in veteran Remko Pasveer and Jay Gorter this summer to compete with Maarten Stekelenburg. Three keepers is sufficient, the director of football affairs states on the website of the reigning national champion. "We have decided that Andre will start the goalkeeper training and team training at Jong Ajax. Now the question is whether he can earn a place in the A-selection. We have continued without him and have already met two goalkeepers during his suspension. talented and experienced goalkeepers."

"The team has already started the season and is now in the middle of the team building process," concludes the policymaker about the goalkeeper, who came from FC Barcelona to Ajax in 2014. In recent years he grew into one of the best goalkeepers in the world in Amsterdam, but due to the doping suspension he has been sidelined for months. The closing post was not even allowed to train at the club and therefore left for the Spanish Salou, where he started working with an individual trainer.

Despite being hundreds of miles away, he remained a topic of conversation. Onana only has a one-year contract and does not want to renew anyway. The club wanted to sell him this summer, but the goalkeeper himself stopped a transfer from Olympique Lyon because he hoped for a bigger club. That did not come, so he will stay in the Dutch capital until the winter anyway. Whether he will get a serious chance under trainer Erik ten Hag in the near future remains to be seen. In any case, he starts with the second team.

The team from Amsterdam picked up Onana from FC Barcelona in 2014, after which he became the first goalkeeper in the Johan Cruijff Arena in the 2016/2017 season. In the following seasons, the Cameroonian Kat grew into an extremely reliable goalie, but in February last year he passed a positive doping test. As a result, Maarten Stekelenburg landed in the goal.
