Ghana's 2010 World Cup star Inkoom open to 2019 Afcon selection

Ghana international Samuel Inkoom will welcome an opportunity to play at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) following his return to action after almost two years on the sidelines.

The right-back, who played at the 2010 and 2012 Afcons as well as the 2010 Fifa World Cup, has been out of action since coping an initial one-year Fifa ban in May 2017 for refusing to pay his former agent.

The suspension was further extended in June last year after failing to settle the debt. In January, the ban was eventually lifted, granting him an opportunity to join Bulgarian side Dunav Ruse, for whom he has made six league appearances so far.
