Abass Mohammed elated with Black Stars call up

Left back Abass Mohammed admits he is a happy man and proud to have won his debut call up for the Ghana senior national team.

The fullback is on loan at Harrisburg City Islanders in the USL in the USA, this will be the first time he’s challenged for a position in the national team.

He has been in good form for the Islanders this season and has already featured 19 times in the USL, interestingly starting all of the games.

“I’m thankful for this opportunity. I was surprised but I’m very happy that my hard work has been rewarded,” he told www.interalliesfc.com

“I’m ready for a call like this, even though I can’t hide my excitement I just have to be focused and prepared for the big task.”

“I thank the Technical handlers of the team for monitoring this deep, I also thank my teammates for the support and everyone involved in my call up.”

He is among 26 players named to the squad for Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Uganda in Kampala next weekend.

The squad will later be shredded to 23 players but Abass will have a larger stage to prove his worth with his maiden career call up to play for the Ghana National Team.
