It is now confirmed English-based defender, Tariq Lamptey won't be available for Ghana's double header against Angola in the 2023 AFCON qualifiers due to injury and has been succeeded by German-based midfielder Kingsley Schindler.
The Brighton and Hove Albion defender made the 25 man squad initially following his amazing contribution at club level even after the World Cup but had to forfeit the invite due to an unknown injury.
However, he's been quickly replaced with FC Köln midfielder Kingsley Schindler- a German born of Ghanaian decent.
According to TV3 Journalist Owuraku Ampofo, the 29 year old netted 12 goals in the Bundesliga II in 2017 for Holstein Kiel and was monitored by then head coach Kwesi Appiah but was never handed an invite until today.
He made a cameo appearance last Saturday in Köln's embarrassing 6-1 loss to current German Bundesliga leaders Borussia Dortmund at the Signal Iduna Park.
Schindler per reports, has already arrived in the West African country to form part of the current 17 players in camp with the rest expected by the late hours today as the team prepare to jet off to Kumasi for the game.
Chris Hughton's first game in charge will be a back-to-back qualifier against the Black Antelopes of Angola in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with Ghana hosting them at the Baba Yara Stadium on March 23 and travelling to Luanda for the reverse leg fixture four days later.
