Anxiety as Ghana coach names squad today

Posted On Tuesday, 8th January 2013

Ghana coach will name his final squad on Tuesday

Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah will name his final squad for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations on Tuesday.

The Black Stars coach will name his squad to beat the deadline set by CAF for the teams participating in Africa’s flagship competition.

All the 16 teams participating in the competition must submit their 23 players by midnight of Wednesday.

According to the Ghana FA website, the Black Stars will hold their last training session on Tuesday before Appiah names his final 23 for the competition.

With just three days before Caf’s deadline for the submission of the final squad list Appiah, decided against gambling on the fitness of Ayew for the tournament which led to the latter’s exclusion from the squad.

Just 24 players are currently in the training camp and Appiah will have the daunting task of dropping just one.

With as many as seven central defenders in the squad, Appiah’s big axe could fall in that area of the team.

Ghana are placed in Group B where they face DR Congo, Mali and Niger in the tournament in South Africa.

  2. afrikaba1 says:

    There is no anxiety. I will not be surprised if he drops one out of the three strikers while lee addy remains in the team

    • maka says:

      If this is on tape…or such a meeting ever occured, the Saanie Daara must be quickly kicked out! These are the guys who can never ever help ghana soccer…never ever!

    • GH FUO, THINK BIG!!! says:

      I READ THE ARTICLE. IT JUST GOES ON AND ON …U KNOW JUST PURE NOISE. I DOUBT THIS IS TRUE. THEN AGAIN IF IT IS. WHY IS AA ALLOWING PPL LIKE SANNI N AFRIYIE TO HELP HIM IN MAKING DECISIONS ON WHICH PLAYERS TO CALL AND NOT CALL? AA AND MAX ARE THE COACHES, THEY SHOULD BE THE ONLY ONES MAKING THOSE DECISIONS. IT S ASTUPID ARTIKEL IF U ASK ME. JUS TO BUILD PUBLICITY MORE THAN ANYTHING….ON MERIT ALONE, JORDAN ISNT QUALIFIED TO GO TO AFCON 2013 AS A STRIKER. HE WASNT QUALIFIED IN 2012, BUT PLAVI CALLED HIM AND LOOK AT WAT HE DID?

    People like saani daara with d GFA no hope for Ghana football. ..fuck all haters of the Ayew. Family n telescope them their generation will never be like the Ayews. ..God save Ghana God save everyone with dis backbiting. Pickering. Hatred. Favortism. Nepotism. ..n above all d BLACKIE fear if God. …Ayews family keep ur good service to mother Ghana. .

  5. Master k says:

    Who do you think will be droped?

  6. mukmin says:

    I don’t know if there’s any truth the the report maka posted but I have come to that conclusion myself that there’s resentment towards Dede and Jordan from the coaching staff and FA. That is just the conclusion my observation has led me to

  7. Master k says:

    Ayew is clearly faking his injury.he is disrespectful towards the ghana fa and to the nation.too big for his boots

  8. ghanaman says:

    Article was already debunked you IDIOTS

  9. Nana says:

    AA just know that u have our support…you are the best.

  10. GH FUO, THINK BIG!!! says:

    I LIKE THE SHIRT AA IS WEARING. CAN WE HAVE IT AS THE AWAY JERSEY FOR THE TEAM? WE NEED A JERSEY WITH A COLLAR FOR AWAY GAMES.

    TRUTHFULLY, I HOPE AA DROPS PAINSTIL, DEREK BOATENG OR RASHID SUMAILA. RASHID IS INEXPERIENCED AND PRONE TO MAKING COSTLY MISTAKES. PLUS KOTOKO NEEDS HIM. GBSTARS CANT OVERWORK THE GUY. PAINSTIL IS JUST USELESS. HE CANT OVER LAP AND HIS GAME IN THE POCKET AS A DEFENDER IS VERY SUSPECT. IF HE IS KEPT, HE CAN NEVER START. KEEP HIM ON THE BENCH N BRING HIM IN AFTER WE HAVE BUILT A CONSIDERABLE LEAD BRING HIM ON IN THE 70TH MINUTE OR SMTHING…

  11. social anxiety says:
