For this month’s AFCON qualifiers against Angola, Ghana coach Chris Hughton has left seven players off the national team roster.
The seven players were not included in the current squad for the AFCON qualifiers even though they were a part of the group that qualified Ghana for the Qatar-hosted 2022 World Cup.
The seven players who were cut from the team consist of: Elisha Owusu (Auxerre), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Freiburg), Alidu Seidu (Clermont Foot), Baba Rahman (Reading), Daniel Afriyie Barnieh (FC Zurich), Ibrabim Danlad (Asante Kotoko) and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Sporting Lisbon).
While Elisha Owusu, Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Alidu Seidu and Baba Rahman have been dropped due to various injuries suffered while representing their respective clubs, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh, Ibrabim Danlad and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku have been left out of the squad due to poor form.
The Black Stars are scheduled to play Angola in a doubleheader this month, with the first leg set to be played on March 23 in Kumasi while the reverse fixture comes off in Luanda four days later.
