AFCON 2019: I wasn’t expecting to be dropped – Majeed Waris

Black Stars striker, Abdul Majeed Waris, has taken to social media to express his disappointment at not making the coach Kwasi Appiah’s final 23-man squad for AFCON 2019.

Time to get a well deserved holidays, refresh and go again for the preseason,” Waris wrote on twitter.
