Just before Tuesday’s international friendly against Liberia at the Accra Sports Stadium, manager Chris Hughton unexpectedly called up left-back Fatawu Hamidu of Medeama SC to fill in for injured Abdul Baba Rahman.
The Black Stars technical team saw the promising defender’s impressive performances for the betpawa Premier League Champions and gave him his first call-up to fill in for Gideon Mensah when the former Chelsea player was unavailable.
The team travelled to Accra, the nation’s capital, following the Central African Republic game to begin preparing for the friendly encounter against Liberia. The team will have the chance to capitalize on this match to keep their unity and momentum going forward.
