He also revealed that the technical team is finalising its preparations to ensure the squad is fully ready for the crucial encounter.
“We will work on getting our lineup right and remain committed to our game plan. Every player understands what is at stake, and we are determined to deliver a performance that makes Ghanaians proud.”
