Young striker Felix Afena-Gyan has turned down a call-up after being invited to Ghana’s U23 national team.
The 20-year-old was invited by coach Ibrahim Tanko ahead of the Black Meteors’ important two-legged U23 AFCON qualifier against Algeria.
However, the US Cremonese forward is said to have rejected the invite despite the Ghana Football Association sending all travel requirements to his club.
Afena-Gyan was part of the Black Stars side that qualified for the Qatar 2022 World Cup after getting the better of rivals Nigeria in the playoffs.
