The six England-based players named in the 30-man provisional squad of the Black Stars are set to earn automatic entries into the final Ghana squad for the 2021 TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
Last week, Ghana head coach Milovan Rajevac named his provisional squad to pitch camp in Doha, Qatar to prepare for the upcoming tournament set to be staged in Cameroon.
Unfortunately, not all invited players will make the team for the tournament scheduled to commence next month.
Two players that will fall short after assessment by the technical team will be dropped in what will be a final 28-man squad.
With the training camp already opened in Qatar, sources have informed footballghana.com that players invited from England will not be affected by the axing.
The likes of Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Daniel Amartey, Andy Yiadom, Baba Rahman, and Joseph Wollacott are all set to earn automatic slots in the final 28-man squad.
