Captain Jordan Ayew and midfielder Mohammed Kudus have been left out of Ghana’s 22-man squad for the upcoming international friendlies against Japan and South Korea.
Kudus, who missed Tottenham Hotspurs’ last two matches, is nursing an injury and will remain in England during the international break.
There has been no official confirmation regarding Jordan’s absence.
Meanwhile, Czech Republic–based striker Prince Kwabena Adu has earned his first call-up after scoring six goals for Viktoria Plzeň.
He’s joined by fellow debutants Kelvin Nkrumah of Medeama SC who has featured in all nine Ghana Premier League games as the Tarkwa side sit second and Prince Osei Owusu of FC Montreal, who netted nine goals in 31 appearances.
Left-back Derrick Kohn is also eligible to make his debut for Ghana after completing his nationality switch through FIFA.
