Ghana starting line-up vs Qatar: CK Akonnor makes 5 changes to the side that started against Mali

Ghana coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor has made five changes to the starting line-up to face Qatar in an international friendly on Monday. 

Goalkeeper Lawrence Ati-Zigi -who kept the posts in the 3-0 defeat to Mali on Friday – has been replaced by unattached goalie Razak Abelora, with Benson Annang making his debut on the right side.

Joseph Aidoo starts in place of the injured Nicholas Opoku and Baba Iddrisu starts in midfielder as Alexander Djiku is shifted to defence.

Gideon Mensah maintains his position on the left.

Al Fayha winger Samuel Owusu earns a place in the team after Eugene Ansah failed to impress on his debut.

Thomas Partey, captain Andre Ayew and Tarique Fosu line up in the middle with Jordan Ayew leading the attack.

The Black Stars will be hoping to bounce back from the heavy defeat to Mali on Friday with a better performance against the Asian champions.

The game is part of preparations for next months AFCON qualifiers against Sudan.
