Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has claimed he is not bothered about facing AFCON-bound Andre Onana in next week's game against Manchester United.
Onana has been called into Cameroon's squad for this winter's tournament, with the Indomitable Lions kicking off their group-stage campaign on January 15.
However, United boss Erik ten Hag revealed Onana could be available for the visit of Tottenham on January 14 having already secured permission for him to play in Monday's FA Cup third-round tie away to Wigan Athletic.

Tottenham boss Ange speaks on Onana situation
At a press conference on Thursday, Postecoglou insisted that he doesn't have a view on United's attempts to keep Onana and intimated that he's not fazed if the 27-year-old is between the sticks.
"Yeah, I don’t think it’s fair or unfair. Each club can deal with it the way we want," Postecoglou remarked.
"Ultimately we're bound by FIFA rules with these things. We want our players to represent their countries. They are big tournaments they are going to and hopefully they are all successful.
" More importantly, hopefully they all come back healthy. I've spent zero time [worrying about the Onana situation], not bothered at all what other clubs do."
