There is a cloud of uncertainty hovering above many Ghanaian players as Kwesi Appiah prepares to name his provisional squad on May 20, to begin preparation for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
The list is expected to include some local based players and be full of surprises with some ‘big names’ rumored to be left out.
Appiah has made it clear in recent weeks that his selection for the tournament in June will be purely based on merit and not sentiments.
