Finder Sports can authoritatively confirm that Black Stars
Coach James Kwesi Appiah has finalized his provisional 30 man squad for
the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil later this year.
It is from this provisional squad that Appiah will select his final 23 man squad for the tournament.
There are no major surprises in the squad except for the inclusion of former Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong who now plays for Championship side Barnsley.
The inclusion of defender Jeff Schlupp may come as a surprise to many but his recent performances for club side Leicester City has earned him a place in the provisional list.
Schlupp who is a natural striker has been converted into a defensive player and seems comfortable at right-back for Leicester. Appiah is poised to try him as right-back for the Black Stars.
There were however no places for veteran goalkeeper Richard ‘Olele’ Kingson and defender John Mensah in the squad. Recent media reports suggested that the duo could force their way into the provisional list before Appiah takes a final decision on whether or not to take them to the tournament in Brazil.
There were also no places for Afreyie Acquah and Richmond Boakye- Yiadom both of whom have been impressive for Italian side Parma and Spanish side Elche respectively.
Anthony Anna makes a return to the team same as Isaac Vorsah. Only one local player in the person of goalkeeper Stephen Adams managed to make the cut for the provisional squad list.
Ghana will begin preparations for the 2014 FIFA World Cup on May 25. They will play a series of friendly games before departing for Brazil where they have to find a way out of a difficult Group G comprising Germany, USA and Portugal.
Full Squad below
Goalkeepers: Stephen Adams, Adam Kwarasey, Daniel Agyei, Fatua Duada
Defenders: Samuel Inkoom, Daniel Opare, Jonathan Mensah, Baba Rahman, Harrison Afful , John Boye, Isaac Vorsah, Jerry Akaminko, Jeff Schlupp
