With the raft of withdrawals hitting the Black Stars due to the reluctance of teams in the English Premier League, La Liga and Serie A to release their players due to COVID-19 restrictions, Ghana has handed a late call up to Yaw Yeboah.

Yaw Yeboah has been in the news for the whole of the week for his sublime goal scored for his Polish side Wisła Kraków in their 3-1 win over Gornik Leczna.

Ghana has called up the supremely gifted former U-23 captain and will be part of the team when they start arriving next week.

The Black Stars Ghana will host Group G opponents Ethiopia on Friday, September 3 in Cape Coast, before playing South Africa on Monday, September 6, 2021 in Johannesburg respectively.

The 24 year old creative player was not included in the initial 30 man squad that was announced by C.K Akonnor last week but circumstances beyond his control have forced him to tinker the list with Yeboah a late inclusion.

The Ghanaian forward has scored three goals in six league games this season in the Polish League for his side.
