Ghana is due to play two friendly matches as they prepare for the the AFCON 2022 qualifier against Sudan in November.

The Black Stars will play against Mali on Friday in Antalya Turkey before taking on 2022 World Cup host Qatar three days later.

Injury concerns and issues in securing visa has robbed the team of some members of the initial 23 man squad called up for the game.

Lumor Agbenyenu, John Antwi, Richard Ofori will miss out while Ajax's Kudus Mohammed is a doubt due to injury.

This has forced the Black Stars coach to draft in two players who play in Turkey to augment the sqaud.

Caleb Ekuban(Trabzonspor) who recently returned from an injury and Joseph Paintsil (Ankaragucu) have been handed late call ups.

Euban has been drafted in to replace John Antwi, while, Paintsil replaces Lumor Agbenyenu.
