The technical team of the Black Stars will take a huge sigh of relief as new boy Alexander Djiku was named in the starting eleven for Strasbourg in the French Ligue 1.

He started his team's 3-1 loss to Lille at home in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday.

The French born Ghanaian defender was a doubt for Sunday's game as he hobbled off in his side's 3-2 defeat to Monaco.

Djiku played 71 minutes for Strasbourg before he was replaced and will now heard to Antalya Turkey where the Black Stars will face Mali on the 9th October and Qatar on the 12th October 2020.

The French born was named in coach C.K Akonnor's 23 man squad that was announced some two weeks ago.

He could be handed his debut on Friday when Ghana face Mali or may have to wait when we face 2022 World Cup host Qatar three days later.
