Porcupine Warriors stopper Ibrahim Danlad has received a call up into the Senior National team to replace Richard Ofori for the upcoming Kiri Cup (four nation tournament) in Japan.

The Orlando Pirates goalkeeper reported to camp in Accra on Thursday but checks revealed after training that he had aggravated a hamstring injury and could not travel with the team hence the decision to draft in Ibrahim Danlad for the trip to Japan.

Ofori’s club Orlando Pirates have been duly informed of the unfortunate set back as he is due back in South Africa for recuperation.

According to the GFA, the medical team of the Black Stars would carry out further investigations (MRI scans) in Accra to confirm the extent of the injury before he departs for Johannesburg.

The Black Stars will square it off against Chile, Tunisia and host Japan from June 10-14 as part of the build up to the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 tournament in November this year.
