Otto Addo names Ghana’s 29-man squad for Brazil friendly with one local player

The Black Stars gaffer has announced his squad which will be used against Brazil and Nicaragua later this month

Ghana coach Otto Addo has officially named Black Stars squad to face Brazil and Nicaragua in international friendlies later this month in France.

The games which have been scheduled to take place on September 23 and 27 respectively in France will be used as a dress rehearsal ahead of 2022 Fifa World Cup to be staged in Qatar.

Interestingly, only Afriyie Barnieh made the squad as a local player despite the Black Galaxies’ victory over Nigeria to qualify to 2023 Championship of African Nations.

However, new boy Tariq Lamptey has been handed his maiden call up and would likely make his bow for Ghana after switching nationality from England.

According to AshesGyamera’s sources 90 per cent of these players named in the squad will represent the country at 2022 Fifa World Cup.
