Black Stars captain Andre Ayew has stated that no member of Ghana's current team is yet guaranteed a spot in the World Cup squad.
Five new players have joined the Black Stars for the three pre-World Cup friendly games. Tariq Lamptey, Ransford Yeboah, Stephan Ambrosius, Mohammed Salisu, and Iñaki Williams are currently the newcomers.
Iñaki Williams, Tariq Lamprey and Mohammed Salisu made their debuts against Brazil on Friday.
“The newcomers are talented, but we already have a strong team that qualified for the World Cup, so every position is competitive,” he told Aljazeera.
“Apart from senior players who may have an advantage, I believe no one is guaranteed a place in the squad just yet. Everyone must prove their quality on the field and everyone has a chance, giving the coach more options and solutions, formations, and I believe it is beneficial to have new players with the right mentality,”
The skipper also indicated that the doors of the Black Stars are open for new players to come in and help.
“The players are good, and qualifying for the World Cup makes you very attractive. Why not let the boys come? The door is open for any Ghanaian who wants to play for and help the country, but you must come with the same determination you put into your club, the same desire, and you cannot expect everything in your European club to be the same in the national team because there is a time for the team to adapt,”
