Team News

Ghana
Ghana will be led by interim manager Otto Addo following the dismissal of Milovan Rajevac by the Ghana Football Association back in January due to their underwhelming run at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Addo has called up a youthful 27-man squad, including Reading defender Andy Yiadom, Arsenal star Thomas Partey and Bochum forward Christopher Antwi-Adjei.

The duo of Club Brugge defender Denis Odoi and Roma youngster Felix Afena-Gyan have been handed debut call-ups to the squad and could make their first senior appearances.

Despite returning with a positive COVID-19 test on Sunday, Crystal Palace forward Jordan Ayew, who is currently 10th in the nation's all-time scoring chart, has also been named in the squad.
Ghana possible starting lineup:
Wollacott; Mensah, Amartey, Djiku, Yiadom; Partey, Wakaso; Paintsil, Kudus, Antwi-Adjei; Wriedt

Nigeria
Nigeria, meanwhile, have called up a star-stuffed 25-man list for their two ties against the Black Stars, including the Premier League trio of Emmanuel Dennis, William Troost-Ekong and Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho.

Lorient midfielder Innocent Bonke has come into the squad in place of Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, who suffered a knee injury in the 2-1 defeat against Rennes in a Europa Conference League on March 17.

Another notable absentee from the Super Eagles camp is Sparta Rotterdam goalkeeper Maduka Okoye after the 22-year-old recently suffered an illness.

Having received his approval from FIFA to represent Nigeria back in February, Leicester City winger Ademola Lookman has earned a place in the squad and could make his highly-anticipated debut on Friday.

The 24-year-old adds to the Super Eagles' already formidable attacking unit and could team up with Iheanacho and in-form Napoli man Victor Osimhen in the final third.
Nigeria possible starting lineup:
Uzoho; Sanusi, Troost-Ekong, Omeruo, Aina; Onyeka, Aribo; Lookman, Iheanacho, Dennis; Osimhen
Prediction: Ghana 0-2 Nigeria
