Ghana will begin the search for a fifth AFCON trophy in Cameroon today against Morocco in group opener.
Coach Milovan Rajevac and his charges will face the North African country in an all-important game at the Ahmadou Ahidjo Stadium in Cameroon this evening.
With the Black Stars training sessions from Qatar to Cameroon, Kyfilla.com looks into the players that could get the starting berth against Morocco this evening.[ads2]
Lawrence Ati Zigi was in post for Ghana during the pre-AFCON friendly against Algeria but it seems coach Milovan Rajevac has lots of trust for Swindon Town goalkeeper Jojo Wollacot and it seems he is favorite to start ahead of all three other goalkeepers including Hearts of Oak netminder Richard Attah.
Leicester City defender Daniel Amartey has been exceptional in Ghana’s friendly matches at the right-back role but per the Black Stars training sessions, it seems Reading FC defender Andy Yiadom will take over his position against Morocco this evening.
Reading FC defender Abdul Baba Rahman is favorite to start the left-back role ahead of Gideon Mensah who was a bit shaky in the Algeria friendly in Qatar.
In the heart of defence, a partnership of Alexander Djiku and Daniel Amartey looks likely despite Jonathan Mensah impressing at training.[ads3]
Real Mallorca midfielder Baba Iddrisu looks favorite to start the defensive midfield role in today’s game with Dreams FC’s Fatawu Issahaku starting the right wing role while Kamaldeen Sulemana, due to his late arrival at the team’s camp in Cameroon loses the left wing position to Joseph Paintsil.
Arsenal FC midfield dynamo Thomas Partey could be playing behind the two strikers of Andre Ayew and brother Jordan Ayew this evening.[ads4]

GK: Jojo Wollacot
Andy Yiadom
