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.

Following the announcement of the squad on Tuesday morning, here is a look at the 12 players who have dropped from the squad in the games for varied reasons.

• Samuel Owusu – Al Feiha – injured
• Baba Rahman – Reading – injured
• Kamaldeen Sulemana – injured
• Maxwell Abbey Quaye – Great Olympics – snubbed
• David Abagna Sandan – RTU – snubbed
• Richmond Boakye-Yiadom – Beitar Jerusalem – snubbed
• Andre Ayew – Al Sadd – Suspended
• Benjamin Tetteh – Yeni Malatyaspor – Suspended
