Ghana coach, Milovan Rajevac, will name his provisional squad for the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations [Afcon] today.
The Black Stars have already booked a place in the 33rd edition of the continent’s most prestigious tournament next year.
The four-time African champions will be hoping to annex the tournament to end its 40 years trophy drought.
With less than a month to kick off the tournament in Cameroon, the Serbian trainer, who returned to the West African country with a one-year renewable contract, is expected to name his provisional squad for the delayed tournament.
“The coach [Milovan Rajevac] is expected to name a provisional squad today,” Black Stars management committee chairman, George Amoako told Kumasi-based Akoma FM.
