Ghana coach Sellas Tetteh has dropped two players from his starting line-up for Saturday's crucial clash with hosts Rwanda at the Africa Youth Championship.South Africa-based defender Jonathan Mensah walks straight into the starting line-up after missing the opening two matches.France-based midfielder Abeiku Quansah makes way for Isaac Donkoh in the first team as the Satellites need just a draw to qualify for the semi-finals and also clinch a place in at the World Youth Champions in Egypt later this year.Hosts Rwanda are in a precarious position as they must win their last Group A match at 13:30 GMT to reach the semi finals and book a ticket to the World cup finals in Egypt. The "Wasps" launched a successful start to the AYC on the home soil by notching a win against vanquished Mali.But the resilience and tactical approach of Ghana puts the hosts in a tight spot.Ghana lead Rwanda on goal difference although both have four points from two matches. Interestingly, the two sides must cancel out each other for the precious prize of the semi final ticket.
The situation in the group is further complicated by the fact that Cameroon on two points are convinced that they can reach the semi finals after Rwanda and Ghana cancel out each other.Cameroon take on already eliminated Mali at Regional Stadium in Nyamirambo, while Ghana and Rwanda engage each other at Amahoro Stadium in Central Kigali.If Ghana and Mali draw their match and Cameroon win convincingly, then Rwanda could be in trouble but if Rwanda beat Ghana and Cameroon win by any margin, then Ghana will be eliminated. The group will really go to the wire.
