Three players from 2018/19 Caf Confederation Cup campaigners Asante Kotoko have earned call-ups to Ghana’s squad for their final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier with Kenya.
Black Stars head coach Kwasi Appiah released his 24-man squad Sunday night with goalkeeper Felix Annan, right-back and captain Amos Frimpong as well as midfielder Kwame Bonsu named to report to camp which opens in Accra March 18.
