Black Stars Coach Milovan Rajevac has explained why he dropped five(5) players from 32 man squad he first invited. According to the coach, no player was injured but he invited 32 players because of the COVID-19.
Head Coach Milovan Rajevac named 32 man-provisional lists initially before trimming it down to 27. Players who were omitted from the final list include, Mubarak Wakaso, Tariqe Henry Fosu, Alfred Duncan, Emmanuel Gyasi, and Abdul Ismail Ganiu.
The coach was asked during the press conference why Joel Fameyeh and others weren’t selected for the game against Zimbabwe.
“He is not injured, it is just a situation we had and we needed to excuse few players as we could only register 23 players for the match and we needed to invite more players because of the COVID.
They should be proud but it is always a tough decision to choose somebody you think is more appropriate for some games. It was a Coach’s decision. It doesn’t mean they are not in contention for the next match. They are with us and part of the team”. He explained.
The team had a recovery exercise this morning at Accra Sports Stadium before preparing to depart to Zimbabwe, Harare.
