Dede,Osei out of Satellites squad

The Black Satellites technical team has left out captain Andre Dede Ayew from the team scheduled for next month's tour of Switzerland.

The 19-year-old has been permitted to sort out his club future after failing to secure a deal at German Bundesliga Hertha Berlin.

Dede is being offloaded by new Olympique Marseille boss Didier Deschamps and he is running against time to get a new club before the transfer window shuts on 31 August.

Also excluded from the list is prolific striker Ransford Osei who has switched to Eredivsie side Twente Enschede.

Osei has been told to concentrate on completing his move from Israeli side Maccabi Haifa.

Hearts of Oak young prodigy Tawrick Jibril has been drafted into the team after several calls for his inclusion.

Portugal-based Ishmael Yartey, Spain-based duo of Sadick Adams and Daniel Opare have made returns to the team after missing out on the African Youth Championship early this year in Rwanda.

The locally-based players will leave for Switzerland on 7 August and will play two matches against UAE on the 9 and 12 August.
