Algeria Under-20 side have called up four Europe-based players for their upcoming African Youth Championship qualifying match against Ghana’s Black Satellites to be played on Friday May 11.

The Algerian Football Federation revealed on its official website on Monday that Olympique Marseille's midfielder Wassim Awachriyeh, left-back  Malik Osefane, La Havre striker Radeef and Abdelmalek Amara of Standard Liege will be available for the Greens in their clash against Ghana at the July 5 Stadium in Algiers.

However coach Jean-Marc Nobilo will not be able to call on Mohamed Belkheir who was  refused permission by Inter Milan, to join the squad.

Meanwhile Ghana’s U-20 coach Jimmy Cobblah has also named a formidable  18-man squad that will travel to Algeria on Wednesday with the hopes of securing a favorable result in the first leg.

Winner of the two-legged tie  will face either Gambia or Benin in the third round of the qualifiers for a place in the 2019 African Youth Championship to be staged in Niger next year.
