Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was taken to hospital following a car accident in Turkey after Trabzonspor’s 2-0 victory over Hearts in the Conference League on Thursday.
The Cameroon international was reportedly rear-ended by another vehicle, with images from the scene appearing to show debris from the collision.
Onana was taken to hospital for medical checks but was later discharged after the results came back clear.
Trabzonspor president Ertugrul Dogan confirmed the incident while providing an update on the goalkeeper’s condition.
“Andre Onana was involved in a road traffic accident earlier this evening. There are no problems with him, and we wish him a speedy recovery,” as reported by GOAL.
Onana has made an impressive start to life at the Turkish club, where he is spending a second spell on loan from Manchester United.
The 30-year-old started Thursday’s victory over Hearts, which followed Trabzonspor’s 4-2 win over Finnish side KuPS. The result also marked his fourth clean sheet in five games for the club.
Trabzonspor have enjoyed a strong run of form in recent weeks, defeating Turkish heavyweights Besiktas and Galatasaray by an aggregate score of 6-0.
The team will return to league action against Rizespor next Monday, giving Onana time to rest and recover before the fixture, depending on his condition following the accident.
Onana joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in the summer of 2023 for £43.8 million but struggled to establish himself consistently during his time at Old Trafford.
His position at the club came under pressure following the arrival of goalkeeper Senne Lammens, prompting his temporary move to Trabzonspor.
During his previous spell at Manchester United, Onana made 42 appearances and kept six clean sheets.
However, his return to Trabzonspor has offered signs of improvement, with the goalkeeper already approaching that clean-sheet tally as his side continues its positive start to the season.
