Black Stars trainer, Milovan Rajevac, yesterday handed four new players provisional invitations in his 30-man squad for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The Serbian trainer extended invitation to Great Olympics poster boy Maxwell Abbey Quaye, RTU captain David Abagna, Vitoria Guimaraes’ Khalid Abdul Mumin and Abdul Salis Samed of Clermont Foot.

The quartet will join the rest of their teammates for pre-AFCON training in Qatar at the end of this week.

It is believed that Abbey’s razor sharp form for the Wonders Club, having hit the back of the net eight times this season in the Ghana Premier League (GPL) stirred the technical handlers for the invitation.

He is joined by fellow GPL player David Abagna of Real Tamale United (RTU). Vitoria Guimaraes’ defender Abdul Mumin is receiving a call up for the first time as well as in-form Abdul Salis Samed.

Indications are that the Stars will begin preparations this week before the coach cuts the number to a 28-man squad for the championship in Cameroon next year.

Ghana is housed in Group C with Morocco, Gabon and Comoros Island.

 

Below is the full squad:

Goalkeepers: Joseph Wollacott (Swindon Town), Lawrence Ati-Zigi (St.Gallen), Manaf Nurudeen (Eupen), Richard Attah (Hearts of Oak)

Defenders: Andy Yiadom (Reading FC), Philemon Baffour (Dreams FC), Baba Abdul Rahman (Reading FC), Gideon Mensah (Girondins Bordeaux), Daniel Amartey (Leicester City), Alexander Djiku (Strasbourg), Jonathan Mensah (Columbus Crew), Abdul Mumin (Victoria Guimares)

Midfielders: Baba Idrissu (Real Mallorca), Thomas Partey (Arsenal FC), Mubarak Wakaso (Shenzhen F.C), Edmund Addo (Sheriff Tiraspol), Mohammed Kudus (Ajax Amsterdam), Daniel Kofi Kyere (FC St. Pauli), David Abagna (RTU), Abdul Samed Salis (Clermont Foot)

Wingers: Andre Ayew (Al Sadd), Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace), Abdul Fatawu Issahaku (Dreams FC), Kamal Deen Sulemana (Rennes), Samuel Owusu (Al Fayha)
