2023 AFCON Qualifiers: It's an honour to represent the Black Stars - Patrick Kpozo reacts to Ghana call-up
Moldova-based defender Patrick Kpozo says it’s an honour to represent the Black Stars after making the list for the upcoming 2023 AFCON qualifiers against Angola.
Having being in form, the Sheriff Tiraspol left-back has been included in Chris Hughton’s first Ghana squad.
Kpozo was named in the pre-World Cup squad but missed the tournament after the list was pruned to 26 for competition in Qatar.
He will compete with Gideon Mensah for starting role at left-back following the absence of injured Baba Rahman.
The defender has taken to social media to express his joy after making the cut.
“It is an honour to represent the Senior National team of the Blackstars ????????????”
