Two Black Stars players have pulled out of the Black Meteors squad for the upcoming 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer have withdrawn their services to the team ahead of the tournament.

The two players and Ernest Nuamah were expected to team up with the Black Meteors team in Egypt after playing for the Black Stars team that faced Madagascar last Sunday.

No reasons have been given for the withdrawal of the two players but they will not team up with the Black Meteors but Ernest Nuamah will join the rest of the squad on Wednesday in Rabat.

According to our sources, Ernest Nuamah was able to convince his club side FC Nordsjaelland to allow him to feature in the tournament.
