Former Black Stars defender, Habib Mohammed says Ghana have time to put measures in place to qualify from the group stages of the World Cup.
Ghana are in the same group with Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Qatar.
The Black Stars will pitch camp in Abu Dhabi on 10th November before playing Switzerland in their last pre-World Cup friendly on 17th.
Ghana will face Portugal, in their first group game, on 17th November at the mundial.
The Black Stars have reached an agreement with the Ghana Football Association(GFA) to only qualification bonuses instead of the mundane winning bonuses.
The GFA are yet to make the provisional squad for the World Cup public after submitting it to FIFA.
Per Kickgh sources, Majeed Ashimeru, Jeffrey Schlupp, Salis Abdul Samed, Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Danlad have all been named in the squad.
Habib Mohammed, who was part of Ghana's 2006 World Cup squad, says the Black Stars can qualify from the group stage if the right measures are put in place.
" I think the group that we are in people say it's group of death, but for me, I think that every country knows how to play football so if you say this country isn't... even when the draw came people where talking about Uruguay, But let's think about Portugal; they are playing very good football, Portugal is really there," he told Onua TV.
" I think every country because now Saudi Arabia can even surprise you and what will you say about it? So I think we should prepare well and let's go and achieve what Ghana wants to achieve because there are some [teams] whose preparations aren't better and you see that it's below standard.
"I think that the preparations are advanced but lack certain things that doesn't mean I will stand here and say it will be difficult for us to qualify, but I think it's not yet time and we still have time to put certain measures in place for us to get qualification," he added.
