Afcon 2021 Qualifiers: Ghana coach names first squad as major casualties emerge

New Ghana coach CK Akonnor has left Kwadwo Asamoah and Asamoah Gyan out of his first squad since assuming duty as a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Sudan beckons.

Other members of the team such as Real Mallorca duo Lumor Agbenyenu and Baba Rahman (injured), Columbus Crew duo Harrison Afful and Jonathan Mensah, as well as Abdul Majeed Waris and goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi, have also been snubbed.

Leicester City's Daniel Amartey is also missing as he continues recovery from a long-term injury, a similar situation to that of Crystal Palace's Jeffrey Schlupp.
