The supposed leaked squad list also showed that coach Kwesi Appiah had named three debutantes Obeng Reagan, Joseph Aidoo and Ernest Ohemeng for the match and for the first time in many years the Coach did not include a locally based player in the list due to the halt of all football activities in the country.
But speaking in an exclusive interview with Ghanaweb TV, coach Kwesi Appiah debunked the assertion of the leaked Black Stars squad.
"The thing is I don't know who brought the list out, we've not brought our list out, hopefully by tomorrow or Wednesday the list will be out. But as to who brought the list out I don't know," Kwesi Appiah told Ghanaweb TV on Monday during the launch of the J.A. Kufuor Foundation Cup.
