Ghana coach Avram Grant will not invite Afriyie Acquah for the clash with the Amavubi which will be played at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday due to injury.

Three other players including skipper Asamoah Gyan and the Ayew brothers, Andre and his brother Jordan will all be rested by Avram Grant.

Acquah picked up a knock at training with his club side and since the outcome of the game is inconsequential to the qualification of the team, coach Avram Grant will not use him for the game according to an insider at the GFA.

The former Chelsea boss will use the platform to assess other players since the result of the game will be inconsequential to the chances of the Black Stars.

Ghana, already leading the group have secured a ticket to the continent’s biggest soccer fiesta in Gabon early next year with a match to spare.

Acquah who is a sure bet for the Israeli gaffer for the 2017 AFCON finals will be kept out of the team to give way to new faces for Grant to have a fair view of their performance.

Former WAFA winger Samuel Tetteh will be expected to start the game with Agyemang Badu likely to captain the side in the absence of Gyan and Andre Ayew.
