Ghana coach Otto Addo announced his 25-man squad on Thursday for the decisive AFCON qualifiers against Angola and Niger.
The squad were comprised with players from Europe’s top leagues excluding the Captain of the team Partey who was dropped.
The coach’s decision to drop Partey has caused a lot of talking points, especially after Partey expressed his availability following his absence from the double-header against Sudan in October.
Mohammed Salisu will also miss the matches after an hamstring injury after Ghana lost 2-0 to Sudan last month.
However, Nathaniel Adjei who plays for French side Lorient has returned to the squad after recovering from an injury that kept him out of previous call-ups.
Mohammed Kudus, Jordan Ayew, Antoine Semenyo, and Fatawu Issahaku are all set to contribute as Ghana fights to keep their AFCON qualification hopes alive.
On the other side, Ibrahim Osman and Joseph Paintsil make their return to the national team after both missed the Sudan games due to injuries.
