Ghana U20 team will play their Senegalese counterpart on Saturday in Dakar for a place in the 2017 African Youth Championship.
The Black Satellites were drawn bye in the first round, and eliminated Ethiopia 5-2 on aggregate in the second phase of the qualifiers while Senegal dispatched Tunisia to reach the final round to be played home and away.
Head coach Mas-ud Didi Dramani has announced an 18-man squad for the trip to Dakar, comprising of Manchester City youngster Yaw Yeboah, captain Kingsley Fobi and Asante Kotoko striker Dauda Mohammed. Dramani is anticipating a tough test against junior Teranga Lions.
“At this level, there is little that is known about them but that is why this will be very difficult,” he told Citi FM.
