The Senior National team coach had discussions with Amartey on his recovery from an ankle injury he sustained last year. He also met with Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers.

"Coach Akunnor also discussed the player’s injury situation with the Clubs manager Brendan Rodgers and when he is expected to return to action," a statement published by the GFA website said.

Since he was appointed as head coach of the senior national team, CK Akunnor has been on a scouting tour in Europe where he has met with England-based Andre Ayew and Jordan Ayew, Jeffrey Schlupp, Christian Atsu and Tariq Owusu.

He was also in Belgium where he met some Ghanaian players as well as technical team members of some key clubs in the country.

Earlier, he was in Germany where he met Kassim Nuhu and Christopher Antwi Adjei.

Coach Akunnor is expected to announce his squad for next month’s AFCON qualifying matches against Sudan.
