Ghana Under-23 captain, Yaw Yeboah has revealed that head coach of Black Stars C.K Akonnor has told him that he is not riped for call-up to the national team.

Yeboah – who is on a season-long loan at Celta Vigo B from FC Numancia – said he contacted Akonnor prior to the announcement of his maiden call-up ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Sudan.

He indicated that he will continue to work hard to earn a call-up at the appropriate time, having excelled at the youth level.

“It wasn’t too surprising I wasn’t invited for the AFCON qualifier against Sudan, I had the chance to talk to coach CK Akonnor and he told me I’m not ready for the Black Stars,” Yeboah told Kumasi FM

“After joining Celta Vigo B, I’m waiting to play in the La Liga and so far I have been playing a couple of games and also gotten the opportunity to train with the first team.

“He feels my confidence is low but he knows me very well and even coached me at ‘Right to Dream Academy’. 

“We have a good relationship but I feel he decides who to call,maybe in the next call up I will be ready. 

“As a young player and as a Ghanaian,I always want to represent my country at every level. 

“For now I’m done with the youth level and looking up to a Blackstars call up,” he stressed.
