Augustine Okrah surprised by Ghana AFCON snub

Augustine Okrah says he is surprised at his exclusion from Ghana's squad to the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Sudan-based winger who has scored 40 goals in three seasons despite predominantly being used as a winger took to Twitter to vent his frustration in a New Year's message to his fans.

Okrah had a tremendous season with Al Merreikh where he bagged 17 goals for the Khartoum-based side.

Ghana coach Avram Grant is expected to announce his final 23-man squad on Monday before leaving for Dubai to continue preparations.

The Black Stars have been handed Egypt, Mali and Uganda in Group D.
