In-form Abdul Fatawu Issahaku finds himself excluded from Ghana’s Black Stars squad for the upcoming 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
The final 27-man roster, unveiled by head coach Chris Hughton on Monday, January 1, 2024, delivered a shocking omission for fans and pundits alike.
Fatawu Issahaku, currently on loan at Championship side Leicester City from Portuguese club Sporting Lisbon, failed to secure a spot in the squad despite an impressive run in the English second division.
Having made 15 starts, netting two goals, and providing seven assists this season, the former Steadfast and Dreams FC winger seemed to be a formidable force.
Ghana will play Namibia at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Monday, January 8, 2024, in a pre-tournament friendly to fine-tune the squad before flying to Ivory Coast for the tournament.
The friendly game against Brave Warriors will kick off at 8:00 pm.
Ghana will face Cape Verde, record winners Egypt, and Mozambique in Group B
