Black Stars duo Kamaldeen Sulemana and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer have pulled out of the Black Meteors squad for the 2023 U-23 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), according to reports.

The forwards were initially included in Ibrahim Tanko's provisional 29-man squad for the tournament, as Ghana aim to secure a place at next year's Olympic Games in Paris by finishing among the top three teams at the AFCON.

Kamaldeen and Ransford-Yeboah were among the three players from the Black Stars squad expected to join the Black Meteors after their involvement in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations match against Madagascar on Sunday, June 18.

The other player, Ernest Nuamah, was also set to join the U-23 team.

However, it has been revealed that Kamaldeen and Ransford-Yeboah will no longer be part of Tanko's side for the tournament in Morocco.
