The twenty-five players called up by coach Chris Hughton will arrive in Ghana this week for this month’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Angola.
Ghana will play Angola in a double header this month in search of a ticket to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations slated for Cote D’Ivoire in January next year.
The Black Stars will host Palancras Negras at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Thursday, March 23 before travelling to Luanda on March 27, 2023 for the reverse fixture.
The players will head straight to Kumasi when they land in Ghana this week for the crucial encounter with the Palancras Negras.
Chris Hughton has included Edmund Addo of Spartak Subotica, Ransford Yeboah Königsdörffer, Majeed Ashimeru of Anderlecht, and Joseph Painstil of Genk in the squad to take on Angola. Ghana will certainly be captained in the doubleheader by Andre Ayew who featured in Nottingham's 2-1 defeat to Newcastle during the weekend.
All the players called up by coach Chris Hughton will be released by their clubs for the international break.
Freiburg attacking midfielder Kofi Kyereh is out with a cruciate ligament injury which has ruled him out of the season. Ghana Football Association vice president Mark Addo visited the injured midfielder in Germany.
Brighton and Hove Albion defender Tariq Lamptey is also having a knock and will be examined by the Black Stars medical team if he can play in Kumasi or in the reverse fixture on March 27.
Kofi Kyereh has already started his recovery process and is hoping to start individual training ahead of the 2023/24 football season. The former St Pauli midfielder made his debut for Ghana on September 2021.
Ghana are joint top of the Group E table with 4 points from two games following a 3-0 win over Madagascar and a 1-1 draw with Central African Republic in June last year.
