Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has given David Accam of Helsingborg (Sweden) and Jeffery Schlupp (England) callups into the Black Stars team for the pre-tournament camping ahead of Brazil 2014.<\/p>\n
Afriyie Acquah of Parma was also included in the team named by the 53-year old at the Ghana FA Secretariat on Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n
Accam, a graduate of the Right to Dream Acadmy, has been sterling for his club in Sweden, but was seen as an outsider to make the team. <\/p>\n
Schlupp, who has been converted from a striker to a left-back in the last year at Leicester, has helped the club get promotion into the next season of the Barclays Premier League. <\/p>\n
The other surprise may be the exclusion of Isaac Vorsah, who will look back at a season of injury as the reason for his inability to make the team.<\/p>\n
The team will be cut to 23 by the June 2 deadline Fifa have set for all 32 countries participating in the tournament from June 12.<\/p>\n
Initial reaction was largely positive as Appiah’s bravery in dropping experienced players like John Mensah and Isaac Vorsah, as well as the promising Richmond-Boakye Yiadom of Elche in Spain<\/p>\n
