Barnsley star Andy Yiadom is sure of getting some playing time the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations following his inclusion in Ghana’s provisional 26-man squad for the tournament which starts on January 14th in Gabon.
The full-back cum winger was handed his maiden call-up last month for Ghana’s crucial 2018 World Cup qualifier in Egypt but was an unused substitute.
Yiadom who has made 22 appearances including 19 starts for Championship side Barnsley this season, is confident of now getting some playing time for Ghana.
"I went away with them last time which was a great experience. I was on the bench and didn’t get to play but it was a great experience.
"There are more games in the African Cup of Nations, so fingers crossed - I can get some minutes.
“I’m fortunate to be doing ok and playing for Barnsley week in week out, so I am fortunate to get called up."
The 25-year-old will need to keep his fingers crossed until head coach Avram Grant names his finally 23-man squad on Wednesday to be sure of a place in the team.
Ghana have been drawn in Group D against Egypt, Mali and Uganda.
