They are listed among the 19 players in a Press Released issued by Mr Kofi Nsiah, General Secretary of the GFA copied to the GNA Sports in Accra on Wednesday.
The reason for the long absence of Gargo was due to his purported resignation from international duty some time back whiles that of Tanko is not known.
