Legon Cities’ goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has been recalled to the camp of the Black Stars after three years of absence from playing for the national team.

According to a statement by Ghana Football Association (GFA), the 30-year-old goalkeeper was called as a matter of necessity to replace Richard Ofori following his suspension.

A statement from the GFA read:

‘Legon Cities goalkeeper Fatau Dauda has been called up to replace Richard Ofori for the trip to Sudan.

The Orlando Pirates goalkeeper picked up his second yellow card in the qualifiers on Thursday against Sudan at the cape Coast stadium ruling him out of the 2nd leg in Khartoum.

Fatau thus gets the nod to travel with the team for the reverse fixture scheduled for Omdurman, Sudan on Tuesday, November 17, 2020.

The Black Stars departed Accra on Sunday afternoon for the Sudan.’
