Citi Sports’ checks can confirm that Parma’s Afriyie Acquah and Victoria Guimaraes’ David Addy have been included in Ghana’s 30-man provisional squad for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n
Though the official list will be put out on the 12th of May, Citi Sports investigations indicate that Acquah and Addy have been drafted in to replace Jeffrey Schlupp and Rahman Chibsah.<\/p>\n
Elche’s Richmond Boakye-Yiadom also made the list in place of Emmanuel Frimpong who was released by Barnsley earlier on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Aside these changes, regular names like Asamoah Gyan, Abdul Majeed Warris, Michael Essien, Andre and Jordan Ayew, and Sulley Ali Muntari have all been included in the provisional squad.<\/p>\n
New South African PSL champion Rashid Sumaila of Mamelodi Sundowns was also included in the provisional list.<\/p>\n
Isaac Vorsah was also added after returning from knee injury together with Schalke 04’s Anthony Annan while general captain John Mensah was left out due to injury issues.<\/p>\n
Vitesse Arnhem Player of The Season Christian Atsu was rewarded for his hard work in Holland with a place in the squad.<\/p>\n
Kevin-Prince Boateng was also named in the team after returning to the Black Stars and scoring against Egypt in the play-off to seal Ghana’s qualification to Brazil.<\/p>\n
Ghana will soon begin its preparations for the World Cup and will play friendly matches against the Netherlands in Rotterdam and South Korea in Miami, Florida before flying to Brazil to play against the United States, Portugal and Germany.<\/p>\n
