Ghana’s Serbian trainer Milovan Rajevac has reportedly made a change to starting line-up that faced Morocco as the Black Stars prepare to take on Gabon in the 2021 AFCON Group C game on Friday evening.
According to football scout Ebenezer Sefah on local radio station Asempa FM, the 68-year-old has dropped Belgium-based midfielder Joseph Paintsil from the starting XI and has handed a berth to St Pauli offensive midfielder Daniel-Kofi Kyereh.
Paintsil, who plies his trade with Genk in Belgium, scored high marks against Morocco as he made his maiden appearance at the tournament.
But, the former Qatar coach has opted to drop him from the starting XI and introduce Daniel-Kofi Kyereh who has 5 goals and 9 assists in 18 outings for St Pauli in the Bundesliga II this season.
Below is the predicted starting XI for Ghana vs Gabon, according to Ebenezer Sefah.
Joseph Wollacott – Andy Yiadom, Baba Rahman, Alexander Djiku, Daniel Amartey – Baba Iddrisu Mohammed, Thomas Partey, Jordan Ayew, Kamaldeen Sulemana – Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, Andre Ayew
According to the football scout, coach Milovan Rajevac will play a 4-2-3-1 system with Andre Ayew playing as the arrowhead.
Ghana suffered a 1-0 loss to Morocco in the opening game of the tournament in Yaounde but, are fired up to go for victory against Gabon on Friday evening.
