After withholding their selection of players for an extended period, the 27-player squad selection of new Ghana manager Otto Addo has finally been revealed ahead of the Black Stars’ FIFA World Cup qualifying playoff showdown against rivals Nigeria. Captain André Ayew will miss out due to an ongoing suspension from the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations, leaving brother Jordan Ayew or perhaps 19-year-old Roma starlet Felix Afena-Gyan as candidates to lead the attacking line for Ghana.
Former Belgium national team defender Denis Odoi has been brought into the Ghana squad for the first time after completing paperwork for a switch in international allegiance while in-form FC St. Pauli attacking midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh figures to be a key figure in a Black Stars attack that has struggled to deliver goals.
