Felix Afena Gyan and Abdul Fatawu Ishahaku are two talented young players with some unique talents and techniques. They’ve been tipped as great prospects for the future in the Football World and Black Stars respectively.
There’s no doubt about their skill set and potential but I think we’re overpampering them if we’re truly rebuilding.
Fatawu is playing with Sporting CP reserves, not the level we need, Afena has played 24 minutes all season and there’s no sign of him getting playing time at Cremonese.
Also, their time with the Black Stars hasn’t been exceptional to warrant call-ups even if they’re rotting on the bench at the club level.
If they can’t break into their teams, the spots should be given to more active players. Joseph Paintsil and Bernard Tekpetey for instance have been playing and scoring all season but have been ignored. The other players also need the chance to develop.
The World Cup is not a ground for experimentation, better selection, and scouting for fitting players for the final squad for the World Cup tournament.
