There is no home-based player in Chris Hughton’s latest Black Stars squad despite watching several games in recent weeks.
Hughton on Tuesday unveiled 24 players for the upcoming AFCON 2023 qualifiers against Madagascar but refused to include any local player.
The home-based players seem to have failed to impress the former Premier League manager.
The Black Stars will face Madagascar in the fifth round of the qualifiers on June 18 at the Stade Kianja Berea in Antananarivo.
Ghana currently sit atop Group E in the AFCON qualifiers, amassing 8 points. Their journey thus far has seen them secure victories in two matches against Madagascar and Angola, while also earning draws against Central African Republic and Angola in the initial four fixtures.
Following the Madagascar clash, the Black Stars will conclude their qualifiers with a final home game against the Central African Republic in September.
Below is the full squad:
Goalkeepers: Lawrence Ati-Zigi (St. Gallen), Joseph Wollacott (Charlton Athletic), Abdul Manaf Nurudeen (KAS Eupen)
Defenders: Denis Odoi (Club Brugge), Alidu Seidu (Clermont Foot), Gideon Mensah (Auxerre), Patrick Kpozo (Sheriff Tiraspol), Daniel Amartey (Leicester City), Joseph Aidoo (Celta Vigo), Alexander Djiku (Strasbourg), Nicholas Opoku (Amiens)
Midfielders: Thomas Partey (Arsenal FC), Mohammed Kudus (Ajax Amsterdam), Majeed Ashimeru (Anderlecht), Salis Abdul Samed (Lens), Edmund Addo (Spartak Subotica)
