Olympic Games: Ghana call up 30 players for women's football qualifier against Gabon

Ghana's women's national team coach Mercy Tagoe-Quarcoo has summoned 30 players to begin preparations for a 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games qualifier against Gabon.

The list is predominantly made up of players from May's Wafu Zone B Women's Cup in Cote d'Ivoire where the Black Queens finished as bronze-medalists.

Conspicuously missing from the squad are captain Elizabeth Addo, who plays for Chinese side Jiangsu Suning and Police Ladies striker Jane Ayieyam.
