Coach Otto Addo applouds Afriyie Barnieh as an alternative for senior nation team, Black Stars

The 20-year-old played a key role in Hearts of Oak winning the double in the just ended 2020/21 Ghana Premier League season.

Afriyie scored in the Super Two clash against arch-rivals Asante Kotoko to secure that vital win for the Phobians as they closed in on their 21st league title.

The nimble-footed player also captained the Black Satellites team to win gold at the 2021 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations held in Mauritania.

Daniel Afriyie Barnie earned a call up to the Black Meteors team for the Korea and Japan friendlies but was not released by his club.

According to sources, the youngster could be invited to join Otto Addo squad for the 2022 World Cup at Qatar.

Otto Addo is expected to announce his squad on Friday 13 August, 2022.
