Meanwhile, three Ghana Premier League players in the name of Richmond Lamptey, Abdul Fatawu Hamidu and Jonathan Sowah have all made the final squad.
The Black Stars are expected to officially open camp on January 2 in Kumasi and will take on Namibia as part of their preparations for the tournament.
