The Torino anchorman man touched down at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Tuesday afternoon.

Acquah was initially not part of Kwesi Appiah’s squad for the upcoming assignment, however, injuries in camp have forced the Black Stars coach to invite the former Parma man.

The 25-year-old was handed a late call-up on Monday as a replacement for the injured Isaac Sackey who pulled up while playing for his club in the Turkish topflight.
