Juventus attacker Kwadwo Asamoah will not join up with Ghana for the Africa Cup of Nations, with coach Avram Grant excluding him from his provisional 26-man squad on Monday.
Asamoah was reported to have made himself unavailable last month following his comeback from a knee injury and his absence was confirmed by Grant.
Leicester City's Jeffrey Schlupp is also missing from the squad, while Kevin-Prince Boateng and Sulley Muntari - thought to have been asked to be considered - were also not included.
Boateng and Muntari were also omitted in 2015 after being sent home from the 2014 World Cup and suspended over alleged indiscipline.
