Captain Jordan Ayew also keeps his place in the team after recording six goals and three assists in 45 matches, while Inaki Williams remains one of the experienced names in attack despite a modest return of four goals and six assists in 39 games.

One of the standout inclusions is Prince Kwabena Adu, whose 13-goal season has earned him recognition at national team level.

Brandon Thomas-Asante has also been rewarded after a prolific season in which he registered 21 goals and six assists in 48 appearances.

Young winger Ernest Nuamah returns to the squad after recovering from an ACL injury. The forward has made only three appearances since his comeback.
