Ayisi has been a big part of Charlton's quest to secure promotion to the English Women's Premier League featuring in all 15 of their Championship games this season. She has a goal and an assist to her name in five starts.
The list also includes Morocco-based Mafia Nyame, who was instrumental for the Black Princesses during their qualification for the 2024 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup to be staged in Colombia.
However, the Swiss trainer will be without the services of goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan Findiib, who sits out the two games due to injury. Victoria Antwi Adjei takes her place in the team.
The big miss in the Black Queens squad for the Olympic Games qualifier against Zambia will be goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan Findiib.
