Spain-based duo Sabit and Obeng join Black Meteors squad for Japan and South Korea games
Getafe youngster Sabit Abdulai and Real Oviedo striker Samuel Obeng Gyabaa have joined the Black Meteors squad for their upcoming friendlies against Japan and South Korea.
The duo was handed a late call-up by coach Paa Kwesi Fabin due to the drop out of some local based players.
Osman Bukari, Kwame Afriyie Poku and Ibrahim Imoro, who were part of the Black Stars team for Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe in March, are also part of the U23 side after being snubbed by Black Stars head coach CK Akonnor this time around.
On the other hand, Slovakia-based right-back Benson Anang, Vitoria Guimaraes centre-back Abdul Mumin and Poland-based midfielder Yaw Yeboah, who all made the original U23 squad, have not been included in the team.
Anang, like Bukari and Poku, played for the Black Stars against South Africa and Sao Tome.
Ghana Premier League top scorer Diawusie Taylor is included following his impressive performance in the on-going Ghana Premier League.
The Black Meteors have already arrived in Tokyo, Japan, having departed Accra on Tuesday, June 1.
Ghana will play Japan in two friendly matches scheduled for June 4 and 8 in Tokyo before travelling to South Korea to play them on June 12 and 15 respectively.
Japan and South Korea will use the two games to test their readiness for the Olympic Games football competition.
