Milovan Rajavec says he will call up to eight members of the World Cup winning national Under-20 side for Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Mali next month.
KickOffGhana.com reported last week that the Serbian will invite captain Dede Ayew, top scorer Dominic Adiyiah and his strike partner Ransford Osei as well as full backs Samuel Inkoom and David Addy.
But that list will now draw in Emmanuel Agyemang Badu and goalkeeper Daniel Agyei whose heroics especially in the final was key in fetching Ghana her first World title.
"The basic prerequisite to do well is to have a squad capable of playing a series of tough matches in a short time-span, hence my World Cup squad is likely to include many players from the under-20 side which impressed in Egypt," Rajevac said on Monday.
He also reckons the performance of the U-20s will give the senior team a major lift ahead of the Nations Cup and World Cup next year.
"It will give the senior team a great impetus for the African Nations Cup in January and especially the World Cup finals in South Africa," Rajevac said.
"Some of those players have already played for the 'A' team and I will call up seven or eight of them for our final World Cup home qualifier against Mali in November.”
