Black Stars head coach Kwesi Appiah has named his call-up for next month's double-header against Sierra Leone including Asamoah Gyan leaving out the Ayew brothers.

The gaffer has recalled the skipper of the Black Stars, Asamoah Gyan to the squad after leaving the forward out of the team that faced Kenya in Nairobi last month. The Ayew brothers still remained axed since the World Cup qualifying match in Kumasi against Congo last year.

Richmond Boakye Yiadom also made a return to the squad after being absent in the previous call-up for the Kenya clash following his superb scoring ability this season as he scored a brace on his return debut for Red Star Belgrade against FK Radnik Surdulica.

Kwesi Appiah showed his dark side to the players who put in a lacklustre performance against Kenya notably Raphael Dwamena.
