  • New Ghana coach Otto Addo is ready to name Kingsley Sarfo, Alfred Duncan and Jeffery Schlupp in the Black Stars squad to face Nigeria
  • The Black Stars and the Super Eagles are scheduled to go to war next month to battle for one of the five slots allocated to CAF by FIFA for the global showpiece
  • The winner at the end of the two legs will secure a place at the 2022 FIFA World Cup tournament scheduled to be played in Qatar

Jeffrey Schlupp, Alfred Duncan and Kingsley Sarfo are set to earn a call-up by Ghana boss Otto Addo for next month's World Cup playoff.

The trio all missed the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations as Ghana failed to qualify from the group stage, but will be available for the upcoming games against Nigeria.

According to Sports World Ghana, Crystal Palace's utility player, Schlupp, Cyprus-based Sarfo, and Fiorentina midfielder Duncan will make the Black Stars squad which will be announced next month.

Sarfo is making a return to the squad since he earned his first call-up to the Black Stars in a goalles game against Uganda in 2017 and has since not been invited.

Stephen Appiah and Samuel Osei Kuffuor have been included in a newly constituted Black Stars management committee following the dissolution of the previous body after the AFCON disaster.

The former Black Stars captain and the Bayern Munich legend are joined by four other members with GFA Vice president, Mark Addo, the chairman of the committee.

The newly formed committee is expected to take care of all activities around the Black Stars including their day to day management.

FIFA Confirms Dates for Ghana v Nigeria Clash

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that all is set for Ghana’s showdown with Nigeria in the final qualifying round for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Last month, the Black Stars were drawn against the Super Eagles to battle for one of five African slots for this year’s global showdown.

Unfortunately, it will mean that one of Africa’s top sides will not be present at this year’s FIFA World Cup.
