Ghana head coach Carlos Queiroz has named a 24-player squad for an upcoming friendly against Morocco and AFCON qualifiers, according to Goal.com. The list includes Mohammed Kudus and Jordan Ayew, while Thomas Partey has been left out.
The Ghana Football Association also confirmed the 24-man selection. GhanaSoccernet reported that Kudus and defender Djiku return to the fold, with Ayew earning his call-up, and that Partey will miss the matches against Côte d'Ivoire and The Gambia.
Two players received their first senior invitations. GhanaWeb reported that Ronald Donkor's mother celebrated with tears of joy after her son was called up. Africa Top Sports reported that Jan Gyamerah earned a maiden Black Stars call-up following a strong start at Elversberg.
The squad will assemble ahead of the Morocco friendly and the AFCON qualifying fixtures. Queiroz's decisions in midfield and attack will draw attention given the notable absence of Partey and the return of Kudus and Ayew.
What to watch next: whether Partey returns for future squads, and how the new call-ups perform if given minutes.
