DOUALA (Reuters) - Cameroon goalkeeper Andre Onana was involved in a head-on car collision on Tuesday but emerged unhurt, the Cameroon Football Federation confirmed on Tuesday just days before the African nation will be in action in the World Cup qualifying playoffs.

Onana had a hospital checkup after the accident on the road between Yaounde and Douala. He was travelling to join up with the Cameroon squad, who take on Algeria on Friday in the first leg of their playoff tie.
