Yahaya Mohammed who was the second leading top scorer in the Ghana Premier League before it was cancelled says he would have rejected an invitation to play against Mali if he had been handed a call-up because he is not match fit.
"I'm not surprised by my exclusion on @ghanafaofficial Black Stars call-up. I would have been bold to tell @akonnor_ck that I can't be part of the squad if I was called upon. The reason is simple, I have been off the pitch for some time now and I lack match fitness," he told Kumasi based Pure FM.
No local player made the squad due to the coronavirus induced absence of football in Ghana for the last six months.
