Kotoko, Hearts players are not getting Black Stars call-up because they are low quality – Coach Thomas Duah

Published on: 15 May 2023

The head coach of Ashanti Gold Sporting Club, Thomas Duah has shared his view on why players of Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are not receiving Black Stars call-ups.

According to him, the simple truth is that these two teams no longer have quality players.

"The poor recruitment by Kotoko and Hearts has accounted for their abysmal performance in the league.

“Most of their new signings are free agents who are not exceptional in any way unlike what they used to do in times past,” Coach Thomas Duah said.

The Ashanti Gold SC coach added, “I agree with the assertion that these two teams lack quality. Their low quality has affected their call-ups into the national teams.

“Gone were the days when Kotoko and Hearts became the destination for most of the known quality players in the local scene, now the situation is entirely different.”

Ghana will return to action next month in the qualifiers for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

It is unclear whether coach Chris Hughton will give chances to players in the local league.
