Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic will make three changes to the side that best Botswana in the opening game of the Africa Cup of Nations for the match against Mali.
Samuel Inkoom and Jordan Ayew will all give way while John Mensah is suspended.
In their place Masahudu Alhassan will play in the left back role, Kwadwo Asamoah will come into the side while Jonathan Mensah replaces his namesake John Mensah alongside John Boye in central defence.
Asamoah is expected to take his spot on the left side of midfield but is likely to interchange with Sulley Muntari behind strikers Asamoah Gyan as the game progresses.
A Ghana will take the Black Stars to six points and send them through to the quarter finals based on what happens in the other group game between Guinea and Botswana.
Starting line-up Adam Kwarasey, John Paintsil, Masahudu Alhassan, Jonathan Mensah, John Boye, Anthony Annan, Andre Ayew, Agyemang Badu, Asamoah Gyan, Kwadwo Asamoah, Sulley Muntari
Subs: Daniel Adjei, Samuel Inkoom, Daniel Opare, Lee Addy, Mohammed Abu, Jordan Ayew, Charles Takyi, Prince Tagoe, Derek Boateng, Ernest Sowah
Suspended John Mensah and Isaac Vorsah
