2022 World Cup playoffs: Otto Addo to name Black Stars squad for Nigeria games next week – Alhaji Grusah discloses
A management committee member of the Black Stars, Alhaji Grusah has said that Ghana’s squad to face Nigeria in the FIFA World Cup playoffs will be announced next week.
After the Super Eagles announced their squad for the tie, it was expected that Otto Addo, who is the interim boss of the senior national team will name his squad as well.
However, reports emerged that the squad has been submitted to the committee, who then scheduled a meeting on Wednesday, March 9, 2022, to review the list.
But Grusah speaking to Accra based Angel FM revealed the 6-member committee is yet to receive the list.
The veteran football administrator also added that the body will meet next week instead.
“We don’t do the call-up, it is the job of the technical team, and then submit it to us for review. What is circulating on social media (but) we have not received it yet. So next week will hold a meeting and see the way forward,” he said.
Grusah, although denied that the squad has been submitted to the committee, he said head coach, Otto Addo has successfully convinced some Ghanaians based abroad to join the Black Stars.
“We have to thank God that Otto Addo and his men have successfully spoken to some players who had previously turned down our invitations. We just have to pray and support them,” he added.
Ghana will play host to Nigeria on March 25, 2022, before the reverse fixture at the Moshood Abiola National Stadium in Abuja on March 29, 2022.
