CK Akonnor has picked a temporary squad of 23 for Ghana's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games with Sudan.
The Black Stars are set to confront the Falcons of Jediane twice in progressive games – first at Cape Coast on March 27 and in Omdurman three days after - with the hope to expand on their perfect record in Group C of the qualifying.
In the wake of declaring his first squad as Black Stars manager at a public interview in Accra Tuesday, Akonnor – a previous commander of the side stated:
"I can assure that we will be an offensive-oriented team – a team that would like to pass the ball quick, move into attack and also be able to create chances. I want players who are disciplined and [adhere] strictly to our tactical play"
