Turkey-based striker Dominic Adiyiah has been
dropped from Ghana’s final 23-man squad for the
Africa Cup of Nations, MTNFootball.com has
exclusively.

The Karsiyaka player has been placed on a
three-man stand-by list to be unveiled by the
Serbian coach when the squad is released on
Thursday.

Experienced goalkeeper Richard Kingson was also
dropped from the final squad to be officially
unveiled during Thursday’s press conference.

South Korea-based striker Derek Asamoah was a
surprise inclusion in the Black Stars final 23-man
for next month’s tournament.

Just two home-based players made the final squad
list. Goalkeepers Daniel Agyei and Ernest Sowah
will make the trip to the tournament.

Stromgodset duo of Mohammed Abu and goalkeeper
Adam Kwarasey will make their maiden appearance in
Africa’s flagship tournament.

All the key players in the Black Stars will make
the trip to the Nations Cup apart from Kingson who
has fallen out of favour with coach Goran
Stevanovic.

According to MTNFootball.com’s insiders, John
Mensah, Jonathan Mensah, Lee Addy, Isaac Vorsah,
Daniel Opare and Samuel Inkoom made the cut.

Other key players are Derek Boateng, Agyemang
Badu, Andre Ayew, Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asmaoah,
Asamoah Gyan and Prince Tagoe.

Ghana will be seeking to win their fifth
continental title and Serbian coach Goran
Stevanovic presented his final squad to the Ghana
FA over the weekend.
