Swindon Town goalkeeper Jojo Wollacott says he is not surprised by his debut Ghana call-up but is delighted to represent the Black Stars in the upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers later this month.
The 25-year-old is among four goalkeepers called up for the crucial encounters by coach Milovan Rajevac including Lawrence Ati-Zigi, Richard Atta, and Ibrahim Danlad.
Wollacott has made nine appearances this season, keeping four clean sheets.
"It was something I was aware of before but it was never going to happen because I wasn't playing," he said as reported by Ghanasoccernet.com.
"I found out on the Sunday after the game on Saturday last week. And it's just happened quite fast. I just preparing myself and concentrating on the game on Saturday first and then let's see what happens after when I leave for Ghana."
"There's some history with Ghana as they've done well at previous international tournaments," the shot-stopper added.
Ghana are second in Group G level, on points with Ethiopia. Ghana won their first game against Ethiopia 1-0 and lost against Bafana Bafana by the same scoreline.
The Black Stars will take on Zimbabwe on Saturday, October 12 at the Cape Coast stadium on matchday three of the qualifiers before travelling to Harare three days later for the reverse fixture.
