Black Stars\u00a0coach,\u00a0Chris Hughton,\u00a0has revealed that the technical team is\u00a0monitoring all players who are eligible to play for Ghana.<\/p>\n

Callum Hudson-Odoi, and Eddie Nketiah among other players are still eligible to play for the West African country.<\/p>\n

Per reports, the FA is interested in bringing many more of such players on board, with names like Grejohn Kyei, and Brandon Thomas-Asante.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, June 13, 2023, at the Accra Sports Stadium,\u00a0Chris Hughton\u00a0said they are actively keeping tabs on these players and expressed his interest in maintaining a balance within the squad.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I can tell you is that we are monitoring all of these players. Actually, what I did say about consistency is not so important for me to have the same squad for every camp. What I did say is that it\u2019s important for me to have the balance,\u201d he stated<\/p>\n

Hughton acknowledged that some of these players are still contemplating their options before deciding to commit to playing for the\u00a0Black Stars.<\/p>\n

He recognized the challenge of frequently changing the lineup, as there are players with alternative choices who have yet to finalize their decisions.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat is difficult for me to do is that I can\u2019t change five or six players every camp because there are other players with other options who decided that they have other options to play for the\u00a0Black Stars,\u201d\u00a0Chris Hughton\u00a0added.<\/p>\n

Tariq Lamptey, Inaki Williams, Ransford Yeboah-Kornigsdoffer, and Denis Odoi among others recently switched nationality to play for the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

Despite the potential changes in the squad, the coach remains open to giving opportunities to those who choose to represent Ghana.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, having trained for the past three days, the Black Stars are expected to leave the shores of the country later today for Madagascar for their matchday five games in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The game has been\u00a0scheduled to kick off at 17:00GMT\u00a0at Mahamasina Municipal Stadium in Antananarivo.<\/p>\n
