Black Stars duo Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer have withdrawn from the Black Meteors squad for the U-23 AFCON.

Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Koniigsdoffer were expected to join the Black Meteors team after their involvement in the Black Stars AFCON 2023 qualifier against Madagascar on Sunday, June 18, 2023.

However, reports say the duo will not be joining their Meteors for the tournament.

The two players are said not to be keen on featuring for the Meteors at the tournament while the Ghana Football Association (GFA) failed to also convince the clubs of the two players in releasing them for the tournament which is not sanctioned by FIFA.

Kamaldeen featured against Madagascar, playing 62 minutes of the game before being replaced by Nuamah while Ransford-Yeboah played no part against the Barrea.

Ghana is drawn in Group A alongside hosts, Morocco, Guinea and DR Congo with the competition starting on Saturday, June 24.
