Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah will announce his Africa Cup of Nations squad on Thursday at a press conference.

MTNFootball.com understands a provisional list of 25 players will be named for the team’s pre-tournament camping in Abu Dhabi.


The local media have in the past weeks speculated which players will be included and some major casualties.


AC Milan midfielder Sulley Muntari, who returned to training on Tuesday after a six-month injury lay-off, could be overlooked.

Defender John Mensah is on the verge of being snubbed after failing to find a club since terminating his contract with Olympique Lyon in June.


Berekum Chelsea midfielder Solomon Asante could be the only out-field locally-based player to make the squad.


Ghana are in Group B against DR Congo, Niger and Mali at the tournament which runs from 19 January to 10 February.
