Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic

Ghana coach slicing down squad to required 23
Ghana Coach Goran Stevanovic is currently in the
process of pruning down his squad to the required
number since he has exceeded his 23-man squad
target for the Africa Cup of Nations.

A lot of speculations are flying around over the
Serbian trainer’s provisional list before they
emplane to South Africa for a training tour but
his assistant Akwasi Appiah has confirmed the
composition of the squad is still a work in
progress.

“I have been in touch with Plavi almost on a
daily basis and we are still in the process of
getting our final squad,” he told Asempa FM.

“We are currently looking at about 28-30 players
but I am sure the required number will be arrived
at by the time we are expected to make the
announcement.”

Appiah however admitted to difficulties in their
bid to arrive at their final 23-man squad for the
tournament in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.

“Currently we are in the process of cutting down
the number to the required 23 and it has been very
tough because Ghana is blessed with numerous
quality players who are all doing well but we can
only take 23 which makes it a very very difficult
job,” he said.

“We are however very confident we will come out
with the best for the country for the
tournament.”

Stevanovic will announce and defend his call-ups
for the tournament at a Press Conference in Accra
on December 15.
