Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz has assembled a squad that combines experienced campaigners with young talents hoping to make their mark on football\u2019s biggest stage. Ghana\u2019s final World Cup squad includes established names such as Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, I\u00f1aki Williams, Antoine Semenyo and Abdul Fatawu Issahaku.<\/p>\n
The Portuguese coach made some key decisions ahead of the tournament, including adjustments in defence after Alexander Djiku was ruled out through injury. Derrick Luckassen was brought into the squad as Ghana prepared for the competition across the United States, Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n
One of the major talking points has been the emergence of younger players such as Caleb Yirenkyi, who announced himself on the world stage with the winning goal against Panama. His performance has added excitement to Ghana\u2019s future prospects.<\/p>\n
Queiroz will now hope his balanced squad can handle the pressure of facing stronger opposition. Ghana\u2019s performances against England and Croatia will likely determine whether the Black Stars can progress beyond the group stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
