Black Stars: Inaki Williams, Tariq Lamptey and 3 others Get debut call ups 

Black Stars coach, Otto Addo, has handed debut call-ups to five new players in his 29-man squad to face Brazil and Nicaragua in the friendly games in France and Spain respectively.

Tariq Lamptey (Brighton), Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Stephan Ambrosius (Karlsruher) and Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer, have all been handed their debut call ups after recently switching nationalities. 

Mohammed Salisu (Southampton), who has repeatedly turned down call-ups, has finally been named in the squad.

Hearts of Oak winger, Afriyie Barnieh, is the only local based player named in the squad, a reward for his excellent performances for the Black Galaxies in recent months.

Ghana will face Brazil on September 23 in Le Havre, France before taking on Nicaragua in Spain four days later.

The two games represent Otto Addo’s penultimate chance to assess his squad ahead of naming the 26-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in November.

The 2022 FIFA World Cup will commence from November 20 with Ghana drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.
