Ghana head coach Otto Addo named a 29-man squad for the upcoming international friendly matches later this month as preparations continue toward the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars will face five-time World champions Brazil on September 23, 2022 at the Stade Oceane in Le Havre, France in the first test game.
Ghana faces Nicaragua four days later in the second friendly in Lorca in Spain on September 27, 2022.
Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu has been named by Addo for the first time for the two matches and could be making his debut in the White shirt.
Brighton and former England U21 player Tariq Lamptey has a chance to make his Ghana debut since switching allegiance and has been included in Addo’s 29-man list.
Former Spain youth player Inaki Williams who has recently switched his international allegiance to represent the West African country has also been listed.
Germany-born duo Stephan Kofi Ambrosius and Ransford-Yeboah Königsdörffer are also listed in the Black Stars squad to face Brazil and Nicaragua.
Arsenal star Thomas Partey is making a return to the team having missed the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Madagascar and Central African Republic in June through injury.
