Ghana XI to play South Korea: Addo starts Jordan Ayew and Lamptey in the World Cup

7:00 PM MYT 28/11/2022

The West African team have named their XI to play the East Asian nation desperate for maximum points in Group H.

Ghana lost their opening game against Portugal 3-2 and will be keen to put their World Cup campaign back on track when they play South Korea on Monday.

While the Black Stars have not collected any points, the Taegeuk Warriors managed to share the spoils with Uruguay in their game that ended goalless.

Coach Otto Addo has now named a team he hopes will deliver to avoid the disappointment of getting eliminated in the group stage.

Tariq Lamptey and Jordan Ayew are among the players who have started.

CENTRAL DEFENDER - Mohammed Salisu

The Southampton defender was adjudged to have brought Ronaldo down in the box for Portugal's opening goal and was at fault for the second after losing his marker. He has to up his game on Monday.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER - Thomas Partey

The Arsenal midfielder was not at his usual best against Portugal as he failed to dictate the game like he usually does at the Premier League outfit. Partey has to exert his authority.

CENTRAL MIDFIELDER - Salis Abdul Samed

The 22-year-old Salis, who plays for Lens in Ligue 1, gave a good account of himself especially when Partey went missing and surely Ghana want the same display.

The 31-year-old Jordan came in for his brother Andre Ayew in the 77th minute against Portugal and he had little time to make an impact. With Ghana needing goals, Addo has started him against South Korea.

CENTRE FORWARD - Inaki Williams

The 28-year-old Williams was not at his usual best against Portugal as he cut a lonely figure upfront. But due to his quality, he has been handed another start.
