Afcon 2021: How Ghana could line up vs Comoros

The Swindon Town goalkeeper has conceded twice at Afcon but he is hardly to blame for any of the goals and is therefore set to start one more time against Comoros.

Reading right-back Yiadom has been criticised for his lack of offensive action but he is nonetheless expected to make the first XI again.

Chelsea player Baba is tipped to start at left-back on Tuesday, as he has done in the Black Stars’ opening two games.

Amartey has had a good tournament in Cameroon so far, and it will come as a surprise should he lose his place at centre-back.

The Strasbourg man has impressed enough to maintain his spot as Amartey’s central defensive partner.

Real Mallorca midfielder Mohammed Iddrisu Baba is confirmed out of the Comoros clash after suffering a hamstring injury against Gabon on Monday. His absence opens up a possible place for Sheriff Tiraspol ace Addo.

Despite failing to impress in Ghana’s opening two games, Partey’s presence in Ghana’s line-up is not expected to change.

Paintsil has given a good account of himself in Ghana’s last two games and is expected to be rewarded with another start on Friday.

Crystal Palace striker Jordan will likely start on the right wing for the Black Stars as he did in the last game, after failing to impress up top in the opening match against Morocco.

The Stade Rennes sensation has been one of Ghana’s poorest players in Cameroon, but it remains to be seen if his left-wing position will be taken away from him.

Ayew netted a sublime effort against Gabon and if for nothing at all, that alone almost certainly guarantees him another chance as lead striker.
