Afcon 2021: Ghana XI to face Comoros - Issahaku gets first start

The Swindon Town goalkeeper continues his reign as Ghana’s No.1 against Comoros.

There were rumours the Reading right-back would miss Tuesday’s game over fitness issues but that has turned out to be false.

Reading left-back Baba will hope to add a bit more offensive bite to his game as he has been selected in the line-up for the upcoming game.

Central defender Amartey is undoubtedly a lock in coach Milovan Rajevac’s first XI after making the roster once again.

The Strasbourg man has another opportunity to impress as he has done in his two previous central defensive appearances at the tournament so far.

Arsenal’s Partey has been handed a bit more defensive duty against Comoros, as he has at club level, owing to the absence of injured Iddrisu Baba.

Kyereh made his first start in the 1-1 draw with Gabon on Tuesday and looks to have done enough to earn himself another go in the first XI.

Seventeen-year-old sensation Issahaku finally makes his way into the starting team – at right wing – after a lot of public clamour for his inclusion.

Kamaldeen has been perhaps Ghana’s poorest player in Cameroon, but coach Rajevac apparently thinks otherwise, having named the youngster in his starting team once again.

Andre scored against Gabon and a lot more will be expected from him as he takes to the pitch again on Tuesday.

Owing to a tactical switch, Jordan makes a return to the lead striker position from right wing amid a lot of expectations.
