If we intend to promote players from the Ghana U-20 team to the Black Stars, and now we have Fatawu Issahaku in there, then Barnieh and Danlad who were teammates at the U-20 level addition won’t be bad and it will fall into our strategy that we are promoting players and we are giving them gradual progression.” Ghana has been housed in Group H at the Mundial against Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea. The Black Stars will open their World Cup account against Portugal on November 24 before taking on Uruguay and South Korea respectively.
