Head coach of the Black Stars, Kwesi Appiah has named a 21 man squad for the AFCON 2019 qualifier against Kenya next month.

Kwesi Appiah dropped captain Asamoah Gyan as well as the Ayew brothers, who have been out of his squad since the World Cup qualifier draw against Congo in Kumasi.

Meanwhile, there is a return for Kwadwo Asamoah after four years of national team football exile. The Inter Milan star makes a return to Appiah’s squad since playing for the Black Stars at the FIFA World Cup in Brazil 2014.
