A statement on the FA’s Twitter page said the 26-man squad for the tournament will be announced at 11:00 am at the Multichoice office in Accra.

There have been a lot of speculations since Addo named a 55-man provisional squad last week ahead of his final selection.

Reports from local journalists have mooted some of the players who will be dropped, with Joseph Paintsil and Jeffrey Schlupp believed to be among those axed.
