Three out, two in: Ghana make changes to friendly squad while delivering Kudus update

Ghana have announced changes to their squad for October's international friendlies against Mali and Qatar.

Last month, coach CK Akonnor unveiled a 23-man roster for the October 9 clash against The Eagles and the October 12 tie against the 2022 World Cup hosts.

Visa challenges have, however, seen second vice-captain goalkeeper Richard Ofori Antwi, Egypt-based striker John Antwi and Sporting Lisbon left-back Lumor Agbenyenu ruled out of the upcoming fixtures.

"Goalkeeper Richard Ofori will miss Ghana’s friendly games against Mali and Qatar. The South Africa based shot-stopper who has been Ghana’s safest pair of hands since 2016, has been ruled out of the games because his work permit has expired and would require at least two weeks for it to be renewed.
