Samuel Inkoom will return to his Ukraine base on Tuesday and plead for a chance to play a part in Ghana's campaign at the All Africa Games.
The Dnipro FC right back claims to have taken a pay cut to play a part in Ghana's win over Nigeria that secured a place at the 2011 All Africa Games in September but securing his release for the competition itself may prove a lot harder.
The All Africa Games will take place from 3-18th September around a time when most European football seasons are in session or about to start and there is every chance the likes of Inkoom will not make the trip to Maputo.
Of course I will love to be in Maputo but I know it will not be easy, he told KickOffGhana.com. But now we are so excited about beating Nigeria so let us enjoy the moment and see what happens.
Whoever gets to represent Ghana Inkoom is certain they will be able to stand up tall at the tournament.
"Today it's a massive win and everyone is excited. We are going to keep on working hard because we need to go to the all Africa games and I think we have the quality to well there," he added.
