King Faisal owner Alhaji Grusah reacts to Kotoko players Black Stars snub

Owner and bankroller of King Faisal Alhaji Grusah has reacted to Asante Kotoko players snub in the Black Stars squad for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.

The Porcupine Warriors will have no representation at the continental showpiece next year as no player was included in Ghana’s provisional squad.

Their captain Ismail Ganiu had been tipped to make the list because in recent times he had become a regular, however, there was no place in Rajevac’s squad for him.

Goalkeeper Razak Abalora has been in great form for the Porcupine Warriors but won’t be in Cameroon. He hasn’t been invited since his error in a friendly match against Morocco earlier this year.

This has led to the club fans complaining about the exclusion of their players for the tournament but according to Grusah, Kotoko fans have no basis since they are not the only team performing in the Ghana Premier League this season.

“For Kotoko supporters who are furious with the call-up, they have no basis, they are not the only team performing well in the league, or do they want Milo to call their two inform Cameroonian strikers? He told Akoma FM monitored by Footballghana.com.

Black Stars will begin camping on Wednesday, December 22, 2021, in Qatar city for a 17-day training camp in preparation.

They will play three friendly matches while in Qatar. The Ghana Football Association has already concluded talks with Algeria while engagements are ongoing for two additional matches.

Black Stars will depart Doha for Yaoundé on Friday, January 7, three days before their opening match against Morocco.

After Morocco, Rajevac’s side will take on Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s Gabon and then wrap up their group stage campaign against debutants Comoros.
