Ghana coach, Otto Addo says he is focused on his 26-man squad named for the 2022 Fifa World Cup.
The 47-year-old trainer on Monday named his final squad for the tournament that has been slated for November 20 to December 18.
The technical team has come under criticism after Jeffrey Schlupp and Joseph Paintsil were dropped from the squad.
“I think this team that we have assembled is our (technical team) decision and it must be respected and supported by everyone who loves Ghana," the Dortmund talent trainer said.
“Many thanks to the Ghana Football Association’s top hierarchy for giving me the space to work on this decision.
“And what I have decided is based on my key performance index and other factors.”
Otto Addo when asked about the omission of Crystal Palace Jeffrey Schlupp said: “Our focus is on the team and I have had a chat with anyone we did not name.
"That’s not how we build a team. The focus should be on the team and not anything else. We are ready to compete and we will do that.”
