Maduka Okoye will be replaced by one of Daniel Akpeyi or Francis Uzoho in this match. Daniel Akpeyi is now warming the bench for Kaizer Chiefs, while Francis Uzoho has been playing for Omonia in Cyprus on and off.
Richard Ofori of the Orlando Pirates was Ghana's uncontested number one goalkeeper until he was injured while playing for Ghana against South Africa at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg on September 6, 2021. After missing the AFCON, the Bucks goalkeeper has made a strong comeback, starting all four of their recent games. He has three clean sheets in five games, although he has been rusty following a four-month layoff.
Akpeyi is our pick for the spot.
Defenders
Right Back
Ola Aina
Ola Aina was a Torino regular, but after returning from the AFCON, he has not played a single minute for the club. His most recent competitive match was in the AFCON versus Tunisia. The official Chelsea defender is extremely versatile, since he can play on both flanks and as a left or right winger. His speed is an asset, and he is constantly running up and down the pitch. Andy Yiadom of Reading has recently been Ghana's right defender, but his status is under jeopardy as Otto Addo called up former Fulham right-back Denis Odoi.
Left-back
Zaidi Sanusi
24-year-old Zaidu Sanusi is a delight to watch. He is a regular left-back for FC Porto. 17 appearances made so far for Porto in the Portuguese league this season, his speciality is jumping and acceleration. Expect him to give Ghana’s right back troubles.
Center backs
Alexander Djiku
Djiku thrives on the left side of the back three in Strasbourg boss Julien Stephen's back three system. Strasbourg has climbed to fifth place in the French Ligue 1 because to Djiku's strength, stamina, and pace. In each of Strasbourg's last six matches, he has played 90 minutes. Alexander Djiku is a rock-solid central defender.
Amartey, Daniel
Amartey has played every minute of Leicester City's previous 13 games in all competitions since his comeback from the disastrous AFCON campaign. Amartey is currently engrossed with football. The muscular centre back is a formidable opponent for Osimhen because of his aggressiveness.
Midfield (Defensive midfielders )
Thomas Partey
Partey is dictating the game for Arsenal recently. His vision, awareness, creating ability makes him a perfect fit for our midfield. The midfielder has been ever-present for Arsenal this season and he needs no introduction to the game.
Joe Aribo
Aribo has the touch of David Silva. He is very agile and can run with the ball for 40 meters in the middle of the pitch. The Rangers midfielder controls the ball with pinpoint accuracy and we partner him alongside Thomas Partey in our midfield.
Attacking Midfield
Right Wing
Emmanuel Dennis
The Watford forward is too good on either side of the wings. Pace, agility and jumping are his qualities. 9 Premier League goals and 5 assists are wonderful for a player playing for a struggling team. He is a threat to defenders.
Left-Wing
Moses Simon
He was the surprise package of the 2021 AFCON with his tricky style of play. The right-footed Nantes winger is awesome on the left wing and is dangerous to any defender on any day. The 26-year-old former Ajax Amsterdam forward has assisted 7 times in the Ligue 1 this season.
Attack
Kelechi Iheanacho
Kelechi Iheanacho will be placed right behind Victor Osimhen. The Leicester City forward on any day can torment any defence. His ability to shoot from any distance across the pitch makes him a wonderful attacker. His finishing is great as well as his shot power.
Victor Osimhen
Napoli paid around 80 million Euros for his services from Lille making him the most expensive African Footballer ever. Osimhen is dangerous with or without the ball. Standing at 6 ft 1 in, he physically looks good. Osimhen is blessed with immense pace and finishing. He has scored 11 goals for Napoli this season. He is probably the best number 9 on the continent.
