The Black Stars boss sheds light on the 17-year-old who joined the Black Stars for the second time
Ghana coach CK Akonnor has revealed he considered handing a debut to new-kid-on-the-block Abdul Fatawu Issahaku in Saturday's international friendly with Cote d'Ivoire but was forced to change his mind.
On his second call-up to the Black Stars, the 17-year-old Steadfast sensation watched from the bench as the West Africans succumbed to a 1-0 away loss to Morocco, four days before settling for a 0-0 draw with Cote d'Ivoire.
Issahaku, who has become a personality of interest after being linked to Bayer Leverkusen and Liverpool, will now be looking to September for a possible Ghana debut, having also missed the chance during his first call-up for Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe in March.
