Big spenders Legon Cities have NO players in home-based Black Stars squad
Legon Cities FCLegon Cities FC are the big losers as Ghana coach Charles Akonnor announced his home-based Black Squad for the double header 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.Coach Akonnor announced a 32-man home-based squad to commence preparations for the 2021 AFCON double-header against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe in March.
Medeama stars Justice Blay and Rashid Nortey, Karela United striker Diawisie Taylor, Asante Kotoko goal poacher Kwame Poku as well as King Faisal arrowman Kwame Preprah are some of the the high-profile players named in the squad.
There are also places for Kotoko defensive left-back Ibrahim Moro and Ganiyu Ismail as well as Hearts of Oak centre-back Mohammed Alhassan.
Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Razak Abalora, Aduana Stars ace Joseph Addo, Medeama shot-stopper Eric Ofori Antwi and Elmina Sharks’ Bawa Lord Martey.
Legon Cities FC, who were the big spenders during the first part of the local transfer market, failed to produce one representative in coach Akonnors 32-man squad-list.
The Royals purchased Asamoah Gyan for a bumper fee but the Ghana all-time scorer has so far failed to make an impact on the team as hes been nursing an injury for almost two months.
Bashir Hayfords side also signed Elvis Opoku, Jonah Attuquaye, Joseph Adjei and a host of other expensive players during the aforementioned transfer window.
Coach Akonnor is leaving no stone unturned amid fears the covid-19 restrictions could prevent several Europe-based stars to make the squad for the two qualifiers.
