The head coach of the Ghana U23 team, Ibrahim Tanko has confirmed that Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer will not be part of his Black Meteors squad for the 2023 CAF U23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

According to him, Ernest Nuamah will, however, be part of his squad for the tournament.

According to the coach, his team will work with the available players and fight to do Ghanaians proud in Morocco.

“For now I understand Ernest Nuamah is going to join us. The rest will not be able to join so we only have to concentrate on those who are here. We already know Ernest and we’ve played with him during the qualifiers so know he is coming to add some quality to the team,” Coach Ibrahim Tanko said as quoted by the Ghana FA.

The coach continued, “The others were not with us during the qualifiers but we felt they had qualities that could help the team since they are not here we will concentrate on those we played the qualifiers with. We are 100 percent sure that the quality is enough. Let’s hope that we will have all players fit for the tournament.”

The U23 AFCON will kick off on Saturday, June 24.
