Hughton also calmed fears about Joseph Wollacott’s fitness as he added the Charlton Athletic goalkeeper is ready for Thursday.

“Wollacott is fine and he’s ready for tomorrow,” he continued.

“It’s important now for goalkeepers to try to be good with their feet but I still think the most important thing for a goalkeeper is to try not to concede goals,” he added.

The much-anticipated game will kick off at 16:00GMT. The Black Stars will travel to Luanda for the return game on March 27.
