Its Not About The League Its About The Players Otto Addo On Only One GPL Player In Squad

Head coach of the Black Stars Otto Addo has explained his decision to invite only one player from the Ghana Premier for the game against Angola and Niger. 

The Ghana coach named a 23-man squad for the upcoming matches in September with only Fredrick Asare from the domestic topflight league. The Asante Kotoko shot-stopper joins Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Jojo Wollacot in the goalkeeping department.

According to Addo, it does matter the league a player finds himself but the most significant thing is inviting those who can understand his system.

"I think it is not easy. I said last time we will watch more closely in the Ghanaian Premier League. It's very challenging and I know if I leave a player out there will be questions," he said.

"But at the moment for me, it is not about the Ghana Premier League, French Ligue 1 or the EPL or Bundesliga, it is about the players and we need the best players to qualify for the World Cup. For me I don't care, if I am convinced I will call you," he added.

Ghana will host Angola on September 5 before engaging Niger four days later.
