Black Stars coach Chris Hughton is gearing up to announce the squad that will face Madagascar in the upcoming 2023 African Cup of Nations (CAN 2023) qualifiers. This announcement comes ahead of Ghana’s crucial match against Madagascar at the Kianja Barea Stadium in Antananarivo on June 18, 2023.
Injuries have prompted adjustments to the team lineup, with Hughton expected to make necessary changes to accommodate the circumstances. Despite these challenges, key players such as captain Andre Ayew, Jordan Ayew, Joseph Paintsil, Mohammed Kudus, Kamaldeen Suelemana, Abdul Salis Samed, and Thomas Partey are anticipated to feature in the squad.
However, Tariq Lamptey, Antoine Semenyo, and Mohammed Salisu are expected to miss out due to their respective injuries.
Currently topping Group E in the CAN 2023 qualifiers with 8 points, the Black Stars have secured victories against Madagascar and Angola, while drawing against Central African Republic and Angola in their initial four encounters.
Following the match against Madagascar, the Black Stars will wrap up their qualification campaign with a final home match against the Central African Republic in September. These upcoming fixtures are crucial for Ghana as they aim to secure their spot in the tournament.
