Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has made a late change, bringing in John Boye for Isaac Vorsah as the Black Stars face Tunisia in a friendly on Sunday.

Vorsah was scheduled to start in the match against the Carthage Eagles at the Zayed Sports Stadium in Abu Dhabi.

But the central defender was withdrawn as a precautionary measure after he felt some pains in his thigh during the warm-up ahead of the game.

Boye will partner Jonathan Mensah at the heart of the defence.

Coach Kwesi Appiah says he does not want to risk on the fitness of the players with the Black Stars scheduled to play their first match at Africa Cup of Nations next week.

The match will be played behind closed doors.

Kick off it at 16:30 GMT (4:30pm local time)

Starting line-up:

Adam Kwarasey, John Paintsil, Kwadwo Asamoah, John Boye, Jonathan Mensah, Derek Boateng, Solomon Asante, Rabiu Mohammed, Richmond Boakye Yiadom, Mubarak Wakaso, Christian Atsu.
