Ghana coach C.K Akonnor has named a blend of youth and experienced players in the penultimate AFCON qualifying game between the Black Stars and the Bafana Bafana of South Africa.

With the absence of key players due to coronavirus restrictions, C.K Akonnor has handed debuts to Kwame Poku and Ismail Ganiyu, while Mubarak Wakaso, Kudus Mohammed and Baba Rahman also start.

The Black Stars are hoping this line-up will deliver all three points as Ghana seeks to book an early qualification to the 2022 AFCON with a game to spare.

As it stands, Ghana, South Africa and Sudan all have nine points, although the latter has played a game more.

16. Razak Abalora

2. Benson Annan

17. Baba Abdul Rahman
