Former Ghana international John Paintsil has called for support for Black Stars coach CK Akonnor who has come under criticism in the wake of a 29-man squad announced for the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe.
The coach has come under fire for the calling up, among others, 19-year-old attacker Kwame Afriyie Poku who plays club football for Colchester United in the English fourth-tier and Dreams FC full-back Philemon Baffour.
The outcry has led to the England-born player being entirely dropped from the list.
