Benson Annag could start the right back role for Ghana ahead of Dreams FC’s Philemon Baffour whiles PAOK star Abdul Baba Rahman start the left-back role.
The heart of defence could be a partnership between Asante Kotoko stalwart defender Abdul Ganiyu and Nicholas Opoku from Amiens FC.[ads3]
Mubarak Wakaso and Emmanuel Lomotey partnership in the defensive midfield role looks likely despite Justice Blay and Afriyie Acquah impressive form at training.
Gent FC talisman Osman Bukari could start the right attacking midfield role with Kamal Sowah on the left while Caleb Ekubah plays behind USM Algiers new signing Kwame Opoku in the attack.
