Ghana coach, C.K. Akonnor, has named his starting XI to face Sudan in the African Cup of Nations [Afcon] 2021 qualifying match.
The shocking inclusion is Asante Kotoko defender, Christopher Nettey, who is in the squad to face the Nile Crocodiles.
Nettey was handed a late call up to replace Harrison Afful, whose club, Columbus Crew refused to grant him permission to travel to Ghana for the game.
On his return to the national team for the first time since June 2019, Chelsea left-back Baba Rahman has also been thrown straight into the line-up.
Alexander Djiku, playing in Ghana for the first time, partners the returning John Boye in centre back, with Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Richard Ofori in goal.
In the absence of Thomas Partey and Baba Iddrisu, Amiens midfielder, Emmanuel Lomotey will partner Afriyie Acquah in midfield.
