Ethiopian national team coach Yohanes Sahle has summoned 24 players for the 2017 African Cup of Nations qualifier double-header against Algeria on March 25.
Sahle has named 22 home based and 2 foreign-based players in his provisional squad. Most of the locally based players are retained from the CHAN squad that participated in Rwanda on January.
Salahdin Said has made it to the provisional squad after missing the Congo Republic game back in November through injury.
