Ghana coach Goran Stevanovic has named a strong starting line-up to face Sudan in the crucial 2012 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday, MTNFootball.com can exclusively reveal.
Norway-born goalkeeper Adam Kwarasey will start the match after recovering from food poisoning illness on Friday.
The Serbian tactician intentions are as unwavering as expected, sticking to 4-2-3-1 formation for away matches.
The only surprise change in the starting line-up is the role of Sulley Muntari who will be deployed just behind dangerman Asamoah Gyan.
Samuel Inkoom has been chosen ahead of Quincy Owusu Abeyie in the right wing position while Kwadwo Asamoah will operate from the left.
The Udinese midfielder is likely to be switching positions with Muntari whose can also play on the left wing depending on the opponent’s abilities.
Captain John Mensah and Isaac Vorsah will anchor the central defence while John Pantsil and Daniel Opare will be full-backs.
Derek Boateng will play the holding midfield role with Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu hovering around as link between the midfield and attack.
With the game expected to be speedy and energy-sapping there is also enough firepower on the bench just in case some of the starting players run out of gas.
The Black Stars are aiming for victory in the Group I match to be played in the hot afternoon sun of Omdurman but a draw will see Ghana seal the group’s automatic place in next year’s tournament.
