Published on: 26 March 2023

Charlton Athletic goalkeeper Jojo Wollacot is expected to return to the Black Stars starting line-up against Angola in Luanda on Monday, March 27, 2023.

Wollacot returned to the Ghana squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers after missing World Cup in Qatar due to injury.

Prior to his injury in November 2022, he was Ghana’s first choice goalkeeper.

Last Thursday, Wollacot did not played a part when Ghana inflicted a 1-0 win over Angola at the Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi.

But the enterprising goalkeeper is set to return to the post on Monday when Ghana face Angola at away.

Footballghana.com has gathered Ghana coach Chris Hughton will ring changes to squad that played against the Palancas Negras in Kumasi, with Wollacot expected to be in post.

Ghana left it late as they opened it 2023 account with a narrow win over Angola on Thursday. It was the first win for the Black Stars since the 2022 World Cup defeat to Uruguay in December 2022.

Antoine Semenyo's last-gasp winner ensured the Black Stars returned to winning ways under new coach Chris Hughton.

The Black Stars will secure qualification to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations if they beat Angola in Luanda.

Ghana sit top of Group E with seven points after three games, three points clear off second-place Angola while Central African Republic sit third with four points.
