Avram Grant in town ahead of World Cup qualifiers

Ghana coach Avram Grant arrived in the country on Friday night ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches against Comoros next week.

The former Chelsea coach arrived from London where he has been based and monitoring players across Europe for the Black Stars.

The Israeli manager had been away from the country since the end of the football season in Ghana with the sole mission of monitoring players.

Grant has invited 23 players including WAFA midfielder Samuel Tetteh and Wa All Stars goalkeeper Richard Ofori, who all play in the local league.

The two-legged fixture which will take place on the 13th and 17th of November will be played at Moroni in Comoros and in Kumasi respectively.

Samuel Tetteh has received his first call-up into the Black Stars Team “A” after his outstanding performance for WAFA in the just ended Ghana Premier League season and in the Home-based Black Stars team.

Eintracht Braunschweig right back Phil Ofosu-Ayeh has received a call-up after an impressive debut in the friendly game against Canada last month.

Ghana skipper Asamoah Gyan who has been out of the team due to injury will also return to the side for the two-legged tie with Andre Ayew also making the squad.

Former Ghana U20 striker Ebenezer Assifuah has been named in the squad for the World Cup second round qualifying matches.
