Christ Hughton has named a strong Black Stars first 11 against the Antelopes of Angola.
The former Newcastle manager is expected to make changes against Angola following injuries to the first-team players. His stint started with a lucky win against the Angolians in Kumasi.
Andre Morgan Ayew withdrew from the squad due to injury. Mohammed Salisu, Alexander Djiku and Denis Odoi have also been ruled out.

Hughton’s first Black Stars first 11 generated lots of criticism from the press. Inaki Williams despite the numerous chances given has failed to find the back of the net.
The Black Stars defeated a resolute Angola side 1-0 at home, thanks to a last-minute goal by substitute Antoine Semenyo.
The injuries in camp, though, mean that Hughton cannot name the same team that started in last weekβs home game against Angola.

Alexander Djikuβs absence means Daniel Amartey partners Joseph Aidoo at the heart of the defence, while Abdul Salis Samed could return to the starting line-up to take his place beside Partey.
Jojo Wollacott is expected to replace Lawrence Ati Zigi in the post, while Kingsley Schindler could also get his debut as right-back following Odoiβs withdrawal.
Kamaldeen Sulemana, Jordan Ayew, Mohammed Kudus and Inaki Williams are expected to be maintained. On a good day, the Ghana attackers will punish any team.
