Schlupp, Kamal Sowah make Ghana’s 55-man provisional squad for World Cup in Qatar

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has released the provisional squad for the Black Stars ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Schlupp and Sowah

The 55-man squad was sent to FIFA last week as part of the requirements for the tournament that will kick off on 20th November.

Leicester City midfielder Jeffrey Schlupp and Club Brugge player Kamal Sowah are the main surprises on the list.

Despite his excellent club form, Schlupp had not received national team calls, with his last appearance coming in September 2021 when he played 28 minutes in a World Cup qualifier win over Ethiopia.

Schlupp was injured in that game and had not been invited since, with his absence attributed to fitness concerns.

The midfielder's career has been marred by a string of injuries, but this season has been the polar opposite, with him starting every game for Crystal Palace.

The list is mainly made up of the core players that helped the country qualify for the World Cup and the players of Ghanaian descent that switched nationality.
