Wollacott believes the Black Stars will give their all at the tournament, insisting they are good enough to qualify out of the group.

“For sure, the group is tough, it is not easy at all, but we are Ghana and we are ready for the fight and ready for the battle, so I’m sure it will be fine,” he said.

“Yeah, definitely, we are going to qualify from the group.”

Meanwhile, Wollacott was recently named in the Football Manager League Two Team of the Season following his impressive performances for Swindon Town this season.
