Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac has elected to start Sulley Muntari in the lineup spot vacated by the suspended André Ayew while staying with Samuel Inkoom on the other side of midfield (in place of Prince Tagoe).
Central defender Isaac Vorsah, out of three matches with injury, is also in the starting lineup, pairing with John Mensah in the spot occupied by replacement Jonathan Mensah. The younger Mensah, like Ayew, is suspended for yellow card accumulation.
