opportunity to battle for one of the three slots reserved for shot stoppers in
the Black Stars squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

keeper is one of the four keepers penned down by head coach Kwesi Appiah in
consultation with goalkeepers’ trainer Richard Kingston.

Felix Annan and Lawrence Ati-Zigi.
The 30-year-old’s last major outing
in the Ghana colours was at the 2005 Fifa U-17 World Cup in Peru.
Before joining Rangers in 2016, Bonsu
has featured for some top local clubs like King Faisal, Heart of Lions,

national team handlers following his great form in the ongoing season

the provisional squad, Ghana will begin their pre-AFCON preparations with a
non- residential camping in Accra from May 27.
The team will then step up the
preparations in the United Arab Emirates from June 1.
The Black Stars, who last won the
trophy 37 years ago are in Group F with defending champions Cameroon,
Benin and Guinea-Bissau.
