The Black Stars‘ likely starting lineup for the Africa Cup of Nations opener against The Atlas Lions on Monday.
Jojo Wallocott, GOALKEEPER
The Swindon Town goalkeeper is anticipated to preserve his place as Ghana’s No.1 against Morocco, especially after the underwhelming performances of Lawrence Ati-Zigi and Abdul Manaf Nurudeen in the 3-0 friendly loss to Algeria on Thursday.
Andy Yiadom, RIGHT-BACK
The Reading defender is poised to return to the starting lineup on Monday after coming off the bench in the defeat to Algeria.
Abdul Rahman Baba (LEFT-BACK)
Gideon Mensah of Strasbourg failed to impress on Thursday, implying that Baba will retain his position as Ghana’s first-choice left-back.
Daniel Amartey is a central defender
The Leicester City centre-back is expected to give defensive leadership for Ghana.
Alexander Djiku, CENTRAL DEFENDER
The Strasbourg-born Frenchman is expected to make his Afcon debut against Morocco, starting alongside Amartey in the center of defense.
Iddrisu Baba, CENTRAL MIDFIELDER
Milovan Rajevac, Ghana’s coach, would most likely rely on the Real Mallorca star to provide defensive help in midfield.
Thomas Partey, CENTRAL MIDFIELDER
The Arsenal midfielder will be expected to lead the Black Stars midfield, especially in the absence of Ajax attacker Mohammed Kudus, who has not to report to camp for the continental tournament.

Joseph Paintsil, LEFT FORWARD
Because Stade Rennes sensation Kamaldeen Sulemana arrived late to camp, Genk striker Paintsil, who impressed on Thursday, might start on the left wing against the Atlas Lions.
STRIKER SUPPORT – Andre Ayew
Due to Kudus’ absence, the Al-Sadd ace might fill in as a support striker to a target man, while also dropping into midfield on occasion.
Jordan Ayew, CENTRE FORWARD
Richmond Boakye-Yiadom, Benjamin Tetteh, and Maxwell Abbey Quaye are anticipated to lead the Black Stars’ attack.
