Dauda's Ghana Snub Downplayed

Ghana goalkeepers� coach Nassam Yakubu does not believe the confidence of Fatau Dauda will be destroyed after he was overlooked for the friendly against Montenegro. The Orlando Pirates net-minder was left out of the 21-man squad announced on Monday. Yakubu, who privately worked with Dauda when he was on holidays in the country during the Christmas break, has played down his absence. �If I show a lack of faith in Dauda it would be undeserving after what he has done for Ghana,� he told Accra-based Happy FM �He has just been dropped for this friendly but surely he will go to Brazil. �We have all been concerned about his lack of playing time but that will not affect his confidence and performance. �We only need to work with him for few weeks and he will be in top shape before the World Cup. �He is aware of what we�re trying to do and so he�s not perturbed at all.�
