Interim Ghana coach Otto Addo has announced his 27-man Black Stars squad for the crucial 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying double-header against Nigeria.

The German-based trainer included former Dreams FC left-back Montari Kamaheni while dropping a number of players from the squad including the experienced Jonathan Mensah.

Ghana exited the 2021 AFCON tournament at the group stage following a shambolic showing which culminated in a shameful loss to tournament minnows Comoros.

Addo, an ex-Ghana international himself, settled on a number of alternatives following suspensions and injuries to some of his players.
