2017 AFCON: Goalie Fatau Dauda's call-up for Ghana's qualifier against Mauritius sparks anger among fans
The call-up of goalkeeper Fatau Dauda for Ghana’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Mauritius has sparked fury among local fans.
The 30-year-old has been called-up into the team despite his decline in form in recent times alongside Spain-based Razak Brimah and free agent Ernest Sowah.
His call-up into the team has sparked anger among local fans as it makes nonsense of the criteria mode into the national team.
Dauda’s plummeted form was highlighted during the Local Black Stars recent disastrous performance at the 2015 COSAFA Cup in South Africa.
He returned to Ashantigold after a torrid time at South African sides Orlando Pirates and Chippa United where he made just a single appearance at the latter.
He has lost his position to in-form Robert Dabuo and therefore comes as massive SHOCK after coach Avram Grant included him in his 23-man squad released for the Mauritius qualifier on June 14 in Accra.
Dauda is seen as a great ally of Black Stars goalkeepers’ trainer Nassam Yakubu and hugely suspected as the chief reason for his continuous call-up into the team.
There are questions hanging around the inclusion of Mpumalan ga Black Aces versatile player Edwin Gyimah as well as Razak Brimah, Ernest Sowah and David Accam.
