AFCON 2021Q: Fatau Dauda replaces Richard Ofori as Black Stars leave for Sudan

Legon Cities goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has been called up to replace Richard Ofori for the trip to Sudan for the AFCON 2021 qualifying match.

The Orlando Pirates goalkeeper picked up his second yellow card in the qualifiers on Thursday against Sudan at the cape Coast stadium ruling him out of the 2nd leg in Khartoum.

Dauda thus gets the nod to travel with the team for the reverse fixture scheduled for Omdurman, Khartoum on Tuesday, November 17, 2020.

The 35 year old makes a return to the national team for the first time in 3 years.

He was in post for Legon Cities in their opening Ghana Premier League game on Saturday when they drew 1-1 with Berekum Chelsea.

The Black Stars departed Accra on Sunday afternoon for the Sudan.

Ghana beat the Sudanese 2-0 on Thursday to maintain their perfect start to the qualifiers with three wins out of three.

A win in Khartoum on Tuesday will all but guarantee Ghana’s place in the competition to be hosted by Cameroon in January 2022.
