Ghana coach Kwasi Appiah has named a blend of youthful and experienced players for a Pre-AFCON camping in Dubai next month.
Three U-23 players were handed call ups as Azam FC shot-stopper Razak Abalora also earned his first call up into the senior national team.
Conspicuously missing from the list is in-form St. Gallen midfielder Majeed Ashmeru who has stolen the headlines in Switzerland recently.
Johnathan Mensah, Harrison Afful, Kwadwo Asamoah and Ebenezer Ofori staged a return while youngster Samuel Owusu also earned his first call up.
The team will move to Dubai in the first week of June to start a three-weeks camping ahead of the tournament which starts on 21st June.

Where is John Antwi? What criteria is coach Appiah using to select the Black Star players? If it is about merit then John Antwi is the most consistent scorer in the Egyptian league and that is even where the tournament is going to take place. Currently, he is the prolific scorer more than all of our strikers. is hate one of coach Appiah's criteria to select players or what? At least include him in the provisional Black Stars squad so he can justify his inclusion for the whole world to acknowledge whether he can make the cut or not.
I support the coach very well.Because he knows what to do at the right time.Ghana always fail because of our Pride and not allowing officials to do their own thing at the post.
Eeeih so John Antwi was not called, wow Ghana.. Am even lost of words.
How on earth would you call Jordan Ayew and leave Boakye Yiadom
