UD Levante forward Raphael Dwamena has been axed from the Black Stars squad for the 2019 Afcon 2019 qualifiers against Sierra Leone.
The 23-year-old started the defeat to Kenya in the last Afcon qualifier in Nairobi.
However, the team’s profligacy informed the decision of coach Kwesi Appiah to replace the left-footed striker with Asamoah Gyan in the side.
The former FC Zurich forward is going through rough times as he has been left out of UD Levante's last four games.
Black Stars squad to face Sierra Leone:
Goalkeepers: Richard Ofori, Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Felix Annan
Defenders: Andy Yiadom, John Boye, Harrison Afful, Jonathan Mensah, Daniel Amartey, Nicholas Opoku and Lumor Agbenyenu
Midfielders: Thomas Partey, Mubarak Wakaso, Afriyie Acquah, Christian Atsu, Bernard Mensah, Thomas Agyapong, Isaac Sackey and Kwadwo Asamoah.
Forward:
Asamoah Gyan, Richmond Boakye-Yiadom, Majeed Waris and Emmanuel Boateng.
