The central defender, who missed the Black Stars's penultimate round fixture partners Isaac Vorsah in central defence.

Adam Kwarasey makes his third consecutive start for Ghana with John Painstil and Daniel Opare playing at full-back.

Goran Stevanovic has handed Derek Boateng and place in midfield alongside Samuel Inkoom, Emmanuel Agyeman-Badu and Sulley Muntari.

Asamoah Gyan leads the line with support from Kwadwo Asamoah.

Ghana top the table, leading their opponents on goal difference but have everything to play for as they need just a point to qualify as winners of Group I for next year's finals in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
