There have been clarion call on new coach Kwesi Appiah to give local players a chance to stake a claim in the national team.

But Liberty Professionals skipper Samuel Sarfo insists home-based players must worthy of a call-up.

“It is very good for most of the local players, it is going to give some of us the opportunity,” he told TV3.

“But is all up to we the local players to put in our best, we have to work very hard to earn a call-up to the team.

“There are lots of qualities in the League and I think if given the opportunity we can make an impression in the team.”
