CK Akonnor to assemble Diawise Taylor and 22 other local players for Ghana’s games against South Africa and São Tomé
The Ghana football Association has reportedly informed Black Stars coach Charles Akonnor to prepare a locally- assembled squad of 23 players including GPL leading top scorer Diawise Taylor for Ghana’s game against South Africa and Soa Tome next month.
According to Graphic Sports reports last week a meeting was held between Akonnor, the Black Stars management team and the FA over the arrangement for the two matches.
The notable local players who are expected to make the list are Kotoko goalie Razak Abalora, Great Olympics midfielder Gladson Awako, Kotoko defender Abdul Ismail Ganiyu, the Premier League’s leading goal scorer Diawisie Taylor of Karela United and AshantiGold’s leading marksman Yaw Annor, who have made the initial cut for the squad.
Ghana has nine points from the first four games and is first on the Group C table with South Africa.
Ghana will play South Africa on March 22 before hosting Sao Tome and Principe in the final Group C qualifier on March 30.
