Spokesperson for the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Henry Asante Twum has hinted that some players in the current Black Stars team will not make the squad for the 2022 World Cup.
Otto Addo has named a 33-man squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] qualifiers against Madagascar and the Central Africa Republic and that is way higher than the number required for the World Cup.
Speaking in an interview, Asante Twum stated that the players in the Black Stars camp themselves know that some of them will not make the squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar because each of the qualified countries is expected to present 23 players.
"What is at stake is more than what you can imagine and aside from the fact that we need to win and start the qualifiers on a good note, it also gives us a good platform to start our preparations for the World Cup," he added in the interview shared by Dan Kweku Yeboah TV on Youtube.
"Some of these players will be at the World Cup and I say some because we can't take all of them to the Mundial. We currently have 29 players in camp but the maximum number of players you can take to the World Cup is 23," he added.
Ghana will begin their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers with a home game against Madagascar on Wednesday, June 1, 2022, before taking on Angola Saturday, June 4.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars have been paired with Portugal, South Korea, and Uruguay in Group H of the 2022 World Cup.
