Joy Sports can confirm that Renne defender John Boye and the leading goal king in Ghana, Emmanuel Baffoe have been dropped from the Black Stars squad preparing for the Nations Cup in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
An impeccable source in camp confirmed that John Boye will be returning to his base in France but Baffoe will remain as the medical team monitors the injury situation of lead striker Asamoah Gyan.
Coach Goran Stevanovic early on named a provisional 25 man squad all of who converged at Rustenberg, South Africa in preparation towards the biennial tournament which begins on January 21.
The team is running against time to present its final 23 man list to Caf on Wednesday, failure which it will be fined.

Goalkeepers: Adam Kwarasey, Daniel Adjei, Ernest Sowah.
Defenders: Samuel Inkoom, John Paintsil, Daniel Opare, Masawudu Alhassan, Lee Addy, John Mensah, Jonathan Mensah, Isaac Vorsah
