The list of players of the Black Stars of Ghana who will take on the Super Eagles of Nigeria have been made public by the Ghana Football Federation, OwnGoalNigeria.com understands.
Ahead of the World Cup playoff game, the Ghanaian team failed to make the list of invited players public until few minutes ago as part of their strategy for the game.
In the list for the two legged game, there was a first time call up for Dennis Odoi who represented Belgium at several youth levels and senior level but has now decided to commit his senior international future to Ghana at the age of 33.
Comfortable as a right back, Odoi who had a six year stint in England with Fulham decided to switch to Ghana after failing to add to his solitary cap for the senior national team of Belgium which came in a 2-2 draw against Montenegro in 2012.
His main task will be to ensure that Nigeria’s flying winger Moses Simon is under wraps as he was the main threat in the Nigerian team during the 2021 delayed Africa Cup of Nations.
