Forward Emmanuel Gyasi out of the Ghana squad

The Black Stars must win both games to be able to nurture the dream of qualifying for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

No call-up with Ghana for Emmanuel Gyasi. The eagle striker, who stayed on to train with coach Thiago Motta and his team mates for the last window of the national teams, was not included in the list released today by Black Stars coach Milovan Rajevac.

For the matches against Ethiopia on 11 November and South Africa on 14 November, there are Serie A players in the squad: youngster Afena-Gyan (AS Roma) and Caleb Ekuban (Genoa).

The 27-year-old, who plays for Italian Serie A side Spezia Calcio, made his international debut on 25 March as the Blacks Stars drew 1-1 with South Africa in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
