Ghanaian footballers Baba Rahman and Fatawu Issahaku have made the decision to opt out of the final squad for the AFCON 2023 following a series of discussions with the national team’s technical staff. This significant development comes just ahead of the anticipated announcement of the Black Stars’ final squad for the Africa Cup of Nations 2023, expected to be made public today by Head Coach Chris Hughton.
Baba Rahman, a renowned left-back with considerable experience both domestically and internationally, and Fatawu Issahaku, a promising young talent displaying immense potential, deliberated extensively with the technical team before arriving at this consequential choice. Though the reasons for their withdrawal from contention for the prestigious tournament were not immediately disclosed, it underscores a notable shift in the squad dynamics leading up to the AFCON 2023.
Their absence from the finalized squad will undoubtedly be felt, given Rahman’s seasoned presence in defense and Issahaku’s burgeoning talent that had captured the attention of football enthusiasts.
As anticipation mounts for Coach Chris Hughton’s announcement of the Black Stars’ final roster for the Africa Cup of Nations, Rahman and Issahaku’s decisions serve as an unexpected twist, prompting speculation and interest surrounding the selection process and the squad composition that Ghana will field for the upcoming tournament.
