‘Darling Boy’ Philimon Baffour takes over Twitter after coach Milo names him in Black Stars squad to face Ethiopia and South Africa
Ghanaian football fans have expressed their concerns over the inclusion of Philimon Baffour in the Black Stars squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and South Africa later this week.
The 20-year-old right-back, who plays for Dreams FC, has retained his place in the team despite his failure to make a single appearance in his last 6 straight call-ups.
When South Africa defeated Ghana in Charles Akonnor’s last game in charge Baffour was part of the squad before Hearts of Oak Fatawu Mohammed was handed a late call-up. But, the former Ghana U20 defender failed to earn the starting place as Fatawu got the nod.
During Rajevac’s first game in charge Reading FC’s Andy Yiadom, who is the regular right-back, failed to gain fitness for the match and as a result, a right-back was needed.
Despite being available in the team, the Serbian preferred to go shift Daniel Amartey to the right-back role.
The situation left many Ghanaians to believe that Milovan won’t include the player in his next call-up but he has surprisingly made the grades and the situation has pushed Ghanaians to comment about it on Twitter, making him trend No.1 in Ghana trends.
Philemon Baffour is blessed. His divine favours are unique. Everyone must pray to God for such definite interventions.
