Ghana head coach Otto Addo has began the process of naming his final squad for the World Cup in Qatar 2022 which kicks off this month.
The Black Stars gaffer on Tuesday night called each player who will not be a part of his final 26-man squad for the World Cup to inform them about his decision.
The Black Stars Coach is expected to release a 26-man squad for the Mundial as he drops other 29 players from the preliminary list which was announced last Friday.
The deadline for the submission of final squads to FIFA is November 14, 2022.
The Coach has started informing by omitting by phone.
