Former Ghana international defender Frimpong Manso is advising Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah to axe defender Jerry Akaminko and bring in another central defender.
The Black Starsďż˝ central defensive pairing of John Boye and Jerry Akaminko were uninspiring as they allowed DR Congo to fight from behind to snatch a 2-2 draw.
Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu and Kwadwo Asamoah gave the four African champions a 2-0 lead but DR Congo�s Leopards staged a sensational comeback to equalise all two goals.
Frimpong Manso who was a member of the 1992 Ghana squad that lost in the final to Ivory Coast in a marathon penalty shoot-out, wants Kwesi Appiah to bring in either Evian TG�s Jonathan Mensah or Isaac Vorsah.
�Kwesi Appiah should bring in either Jonathan Mensah or Isaac Vorsah to replace Akaminko to improve the defence,� he told Accra-based Happy FM.
The Turkey-based defender fouled Dieumerci Mbokani inside the Ghana box in the 69th minute which handed DR Congo a penalty.
The Black Stars will play against Mali in their second game in Group B on Thursday.
