Manchester City defender axed from Black Satellites squad

Yeboah has been training with the national U-20 team of Ghana at Sogakope, the home grounds of West Africa Football Academy, since he joined the team from England last week.

His failure to make the cut for coach Jimmy Cobblah’s team comes as a surprise because he joined the side with high profile, having flourished with the Man City II team in the youth Premier League and the UEFA U21 Champions League.

Other notable casualties are former Ghana U17 stars Gabriel Leveh and Najeeb Yakubu.

Jimmy Cobblah is preparing with the Black Satellites for the 2019 CAF U20 Cup of Nations to be held in Niger next month.

Ghana are in Group B alongside Senegal, Mali and Burkina Faso.

Ghana’s final 21-man squad:

Danlad Ibrahim (GK), Montari Kamahini, Gideon Mensah, Prosper Ahiabu, Emmanuel Kumah, Daniel Lomotey, Ibrahim Sadiq, Enock Attah Agyei

Michael Baidoo, Maxwell Arthur, Fard Ibrahim, Nathaniel Adjei, Frank Arhin, Ibrahim Sulley, Saliw Babawo

Isaac Atanga, Frederick Asare (GK), Manaf Nurudeen (GK), Ishaaku Kondah, Mohammed Kudus, Emmanuel Toku
