Richard Ofori was left out of Ghana’s squad for the World Cup but Kamal Sowah was included.
Ofori started the season well with the Buccaneers, playing a key role as they reached the semi-finals of the MTN8 against Mamelodi Sundowns. He was called-up by the Black Stars during their preparations matches for the World Cup in September.
Sowah’s form for Club Brugge in the Champions League has won him a World Cup call-up .
Coach Otto Addo named his 26-man squad for the tournament, where the Black Stars face Portugal, South Korea and Uruguay in Group H.
There was also a first call up for midfielder Salis Abdul Samed.
Former Spain international Inaki Williams and England under-21 international Tariq Lamptey, who threw in their lot with Ghana two months ago, were both included.
Ghana failed to persuade England international Callum Hudson Odoi to switch his allegiance.
Ghana have been forced to name three inexperienced goalkeepers after their first two choices – Jojo Wollacott from Charlton Athletic and South Africa-based Richard Ofori – were both injured in club action.
The squad will be captained by Dede Ayew, who was part of the team that reached the quarterfinals in South Africa in 2010 – only the third time an African nation has reached the last eight of a World Cup.
