The St. Gallen goalkeeper has however not enjoyed a good string of matches in the Black Stars with 9 appearances from 38 call-ups.

With Ati-Zigi in the goal post, the Black Stars have won 1, drawn 3, lost 5 matches and conceded 14 goals out of 9 games.

After conceding 4 goals in the Kirin tournament against Japan, Ati-Zigi’s place in the Black Stars became a matter of discussion for football fans who felt the goalkeeper is substandard.

In the new Black Stars call-up, coach Otto Addo chose to snub the St. Gallen goalkeeper and opt for Richard Ofori, Jojo Wollacott and Manaf Nurudeen.

The Black Stars friendly matches against Brazil and Nicaragua have been set for September 23rd and 27th.

Here are some posts on social media after Ati-Zigi missed Ghana’s call-up.

At long last there’s no ati Zigi ! Bring him nka mo b3 te!

Don't do Ati Zigi like that now. Anyway cool squad! Would've loved to see Abdul Samed and Pfeiffer inclusion though.

Squad nny3 bad dierr. So far as Ati Basket Zigi wasn’t given a call up dierr I’m okay but where’s Joseph Paintsil? Schlupp also has been quite impressive recently, he deserves a call up????????‍♂️. Hope Inaki settles in quickly and supplies us with some goals???? pic.twitter.com/dHYm8GJ9oK

good squad
particularly pleasing to see Ati Zigi dropped
still no space for Ashimeru or Schlupp
and Joseph Paintsil has had a good start to the season and had to be in the team https://t.co/oAe4ax3JLO

It's only Brendan Rogers who sees Ward as a world class keeper to start him every game in the PL. Akoa no asaa ruff. Ati Zigi sef is better.
