GFA defends Avram Grant's monitoring policy

The Ghana Football Association has defended Black Stars coach Avram Grant’s monitoring policy.

Some Ghanaians have raised concerns about how Grant always goes to monitor players but keeps calling the same old names into the national team.

The Israeli trainer has been away since last week Friday monitoring players in Europe and Ibrahim Saani Daara who is spokesperson of the Ghana FA is not expecting massive changes in the next Black Stars call ups.

“It doesn’t necessarily mean that when you go and monitor players you must come up with new ones, does it also mean that just because he has gone to monitor players he must yank off all the players we already have?” he asked

“The key thing is that the evolving national team must be a team where if somebody is coming out of the squad the person who comes in must be better than the one going out so is not just the reason that you go and monitor."

“Sometimes you go and monitor a player and you realise that he is not cut for the national team yet or the player is good but may be you have a better player in the squad.

“But we have said to him (Grant) to look internally because we have talents here and we also think that there are some other young players out there we can also look at.”
