Five Meteors players earn late Black Stars call-up

Five Black Meteors players at the 2015 All Africa Games have earned late call-ups into the Black Stars ahead of Tuesday’s international friendly against Congo Brazzaville, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively reveal.

Defenders Baba Mensah, Lawrence Lartey and Patrick Asmah as well as midfielders Kennedy Ashia and Samuel Tetteh have been drafted into the team to play the Red Devil on Tuesday afternoon.

Coach Avram Grant has called up the five local players to beef up the squad with a number of key regulars expected to miss the fixture due to late arrivals.

The quintet is part of Ghana’s Black Meteors squad currently in Brazzaville to defend their All Africa Games trophy won in 2011.

The Black Stars will leave for Kigali to take on Rwanda in their second group H game of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday September 5.
