Award-winning Gospel musician, Sonnie Badu, has called for the inclusion of Daniel Afriyie Barnieh in the Black Stars squad ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Hearts of Oak striker has been a standout player for the past two seasons.
The Afcon U-20 champion was part of the Black Stars squad for the September friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua.
He earned call-ups to the national team during CK Akonnor and Milovan Rajevac’s regimes.
In an Instagram post, Badu urged the technical team, led by Otto Addo, to include Afriyie Barnieh in the squad.
