Arsenal midfielder, Thomas Partey has been dropped from the Black Stars squad for the games against Angola and Niger. <\/p>\n
Partey’s exclusion and the naming of three local players are the two major calls by Otto Addo in the 25-man squad. <\/p>\n
Partey and defender Mohammed Salisu are the big misses in the list. Unlike Partey, who has no injury concerns, Salisu picked up a hamstring injury during Ghana’s 2-0 defeat to Sudan.<\/p>\n
Regarding the local players, Samartex’s Isaac Afful, Nations FC defender Razak Simpson, and Asante Kotoko midfielder Emmanuel Antwi are the trio who made the list.<\/p>\n
The Black Stars have not won any of their four games in the qualifiers, losing two and drawing two.<\/p>\n
They will need two wins from the two games against Angola and Niger and hope Sudan lose their respective games.<\/p>\n
Ghana will face Angola on November 15 in Luanda before hosting Niger on November 18 to close the qualifying series.<\/p>\n
