CK Akonnor explains why defender Mohammed Salisu did not make Black Stars squad for Sudan clash
Charles Kwabla Akonnor has explained why defender Mohammed Salisu was not included in the Black Stars squad for the double-header 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sudan.
Akonnor named his first Ghana squad on Tuesday with the Real Valladolid ace missing out.
His omission has left many surprised considering he has been consistently excelled this season in the Spanish top-flight. He has featured in all 26 league games Valladolid has played.
“I could not get in contact with him [in time],” Akonnor responded when he was asked of the defender at the news conference.
The Black Stars will host Sudan at Cape Coast Stadium on March 27 in Group C of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.
It will be followed by a reverse fixture in Omdurman within three days.
