Ghana coach Jimmy Cobblah has named his final 21-man squad for the 2019 U-20 Africa Cup of Nations in Niger which starts this weekend.
The former Wa All Stars and Inter Allies trainer left out 2017 FIFA U17 World Cup star Emmanuel Toku from the squad after the midfielder failed to join in Niamey for pre-tournament training.
Only four from the Black Starlets team which finished second at the 2017 Africa U-17 Championship in Gabon made the cut.
They are goalkeeper Danlad Ibrahim, Ibrahim Sulley, Ibrahim Sadiq and Mohammed Kudus who will wear the iconic No.10 jersey.
Tanzania-based Enoch Atta Agyei is the only player based on the continent to be included in the squad.
The Black Satellites are hoping to win the competition for the first time since 2009.
Ghana will face Burkina Faso in their opening match on Sunday.
