Black Meteors: Paa Kwesi Fabin names Ghana XI against Japan in 2nd friendly

Ghana U23 coach Paa Kwasi Fabin has named his starting eleven for the second friendly against Japan on Tuesday. 

Having lost the first encounter 6-0, the former Ghana U17 coach replaced goalkeeper William Essu with Hearts shotstopper Richmond Ayi. Ayi missed Saturday’s encounter due to injury.

Uzair Alhassan, a member of the U20 AFCON winning side partners Black Satellites teammate Frank Assinki in the heart of defence with Frank Amoabeng and Samuel Ashie Quaye playing the right and left backs respectively.

In midfield Getafe midfielder Sabit Abdulai joins Osman Bukari, Emmanuel Essiam and Jonah Attuquaye to make a quartet.

Frimpong Boateng starts upfront with Joselpho Barnes also joining in attack.

The Black Meteors are hoping to avenge Saturday’s humiliation by beating the U24 of Japan.

Below is the starting XI of Ghana:
