'I feel extremely happy to be back in the Black Stars team' - Felix Annan

Published on: 01 October 2018

Asante Kotoko goalkeeper Felix Annan has expressed his excitement following his inclusion in coach Kwesi Appiah's squad for the upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Sierra Leone.

Annan, 23, has returned to the team after his impressive display for Asante Kotoko and is the only local player in the team.

He claims it's a great honour to serve his country and ready to prove his worth.

”I feel extremely happy to be back in the Black Stars team after getting my first call up last year,” he told SportsworldGhana.com.

”It’s a great honour to be invited for an AFCON qualifier and I promise to do my possible best and also show the whole world what Felix Annan can do when I am handed a starting role,” he added.

”It has always been my dream to get a call-up so that now that it has come I gladly welcome it and will surely prove my worth.”

Ghana will host Sierra Leone on Thursday, 11th October at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium before travelling to Freetown for the second leg four days later.

The Black Stars sit top of Group F despite last month's defeat to Kenya in Nairobi.
